2 OVERVIEW OF OMB SUPERCIRCULAR Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) issued the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, Final Rule (Uniform Guidance) on December 26, 2013, which is referred to as OMB Super Circular or Omni Circular and is codified at 2 CFR Part 200. The Super Circular supersedes and streamlines requirements from the following OMB Circulars applicable to the administration, use and audit of federal grant funds by non-profit organizations, state, local and tribal governments, and colleges and universities: OMB Circular A-21: Cost Principles for Educational Institutions OMB Circular A-87: Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments OMB Circular A-89: Federal Domestic Assistance Program Information OMB Circular A-102: Grants and Cooperative Agreements with State and Local Governments OMB Circular A-110: Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals and Other Non-Profits OMB Circular A-122: Cost Principles for Non-Profit Organizations OMB Circular A-133: Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations 2 CFR Part 200 affects Federal awarding agencies and non-federal entities including non-profits, state and local governments, Indian tribes, and Institutes of Higher Education (IHE) that receive Federal assistance awards as a recipient or sub recipient, as well as their auditors. For profit entities will also be subject to a portion of the rules. These rules apply to Federal assistance awards and to additional funding increments made after December 26, Existing awards will continue to be governed by the terms and conditions of their Federal award agreement and no retroactive change exists to award terms and conditions. OBJECTIVES OF THE REFORM Eliminate duplicative and conflicting guidance Reduce administrative burdens on non-federal entities receiving Federal awards Increase impact and accessibility of programs by minimizing time spent on compliance Increase management focus on performance and achieving program outcomes Strengthen internal controls while providing administrative flexibility Increase financial management, integrity and accountability over Federal funds by improving policies that protect against fraud, waste and abuse. Award grants and cooperative agreements based on merit and financial risk Streamline and clarify guidance on sub-recipient monitoring Focus the Single Audit oversight tool to reduce fraud, waste and abuse 1
