(Recorded Webinar) Cost Allocation and Indirect Cost Rates

Duration: 90 minutes
Recorded on: 09/28/2023

One of the most challenging compliance obligations of federal grantees is ensuring that they charge only “allocable” costs to their federal awards. At its core a very straightforward concept, in practice cost allocation can prove a complex endeavor. From direct allocation, through cost allocation plans, and federally approved indirect cost rate agreements, an understanding of cost allocation principles aids grantees in efficiently and properly recovering project costs from the federal government. Join Partner Scott S. Sheffler to build from cost allocation basics to intermediate allocation concepts, examine practical examples, and walk through the indirect rate agreement negotiation process.
