COVID-19 has deeply impacted Head Start and Early Head Start programs, enrolled children and families, and their communities in many ways. In one example, by expanding services to meet the ever-growing need for services in their communities, many Head Start programs may experience challenges with equipment and supplies. 

Every Head Start program is required to conduct a physical inventory of equipment every two years and reconcile that inventory with its records. As Head Start grantees consider these cost categories, it is important to keep key issue areas in mind, including:

  • Tagging & Recording Property

  • Physical Inventory

  • Use of Equipment Purchased with Federal Funding

  • Excess Property

  • Equipment Transfer and Disposal

On this webinar, we will discuss the fundamentals of conducting an equipment inventory, shares excerpts from sample policies, and describe best practices for managing equipment acquired with Federal Funding.

Target Audience

  • CEOs / Head Start Directors
  • CFOs and Fiscal Staff
  • Compliance Officers and Staff
  • Project Managers and other Grants Management Staff

Learning Objectives

After this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Manage Head Start equipment inventory
  • Describe best practices for related reporting requirements
  • Reduce the risk of audit findings and avoid penalties from OIG actions

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course. 

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
