New Publication: Practical Implementation Issues with Uniform Guidance
In December 2013, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (known to many as the “Super Circular” or the new Uniform Grant Guidance) to streamline and consolidate grants guidance previously contained in numerous documents. These changes will impact all entities receiving and administering federal awards, as well as auditors responsible for auditing federal awards programs. The Super Circular contains the most significant changes to occur to federal grants administration in recent history.

Financial Discussion: Elimination of Developer Fees in Consolidation
The third paper in our Financial Discussion series dives into guidance on eliminating developer fees in consolidated financial reporting.
Under current accounting guidelines, developer fees are eliminated when preparing consolidated financial statements.
– How should the developer eliminate the profit realized on the developer fees?
– How should the developer determine the profit and does it matter if the developer fee is deferred?
– Should only the deferred fee be eliminated and not the fee paid from third party sourced debt and investor equity?
