Learn how to carry the weighty responsibilities of planning, directing, and reporting on a single audit engagement conducted under the Uniform Guidance, with an emphasis on the advanced topics that require particular attention. This course gives you insights into key issues that are not covered in other courses, and provides case studies to help put the guidance into practice.

Major Topics:
- Planning the compliance audit and other risk assessment considerations
- Required elements of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards

- Considerations of pass-through entities and subrecipients
