On the latest Risk Advisory podcast we are covering the latest guidance on the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”). We examine how organizations can successfully administer CARES funding, details around the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (“SLFRF”) requirements and Single audit requirements, as well as reporting. Our guests also cover unique challenges with ARPA funds for the government sector and particularly as it pertains to compliance, including requirements to segregate direct and indirect costs, structuring indirect cost rates, and the allowability or unallowability of various types of costs.
