Session 5: Introduction to Procurement Standards >>
Course 5: Introduction to Procurement Standards Uniform Guidance contains certain standards with which all non-Federal entities are required to comply when acquiring goods or services with Federal funds. Procurement has been a large presence in Single Audit findings since the current procurement standards were implemented in Uniform Guidance, and the length of the standards and apparent complexity can make them intimidating. In this session, we will focus on the procurement standards that apply to all direct expenditures for goods and services under federal grants and cooperative agreements.
