	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	Business travel is a fact of life for all organizations, but implementing policies and procedures that comply with federal regulations and work for the employee, management, and the business office can be tricky. We will touch on travel advances, expense reports and documentation, the use of per diems, and the applicable cost principles. We will also explore the &amp;ldquo;family-friendly policies&amp;rdquo; available in the Uniform Guidance.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;

	Are you responsible for subrecipient or delegate monitoring? 2 CFR Part 200, with its increased emphasis on risk management, focuses on internal controls, the importance of prefunding reviews, and subrecipient monitoring.&amp;nbsp; Therefore, you need a monitoring process that is efficient, effective, and focuses on the right things. Our goal is to increase your awareness of all of the ways you get information so you can develop a system that focuses on the right things and gives you tools to assess your subrecipients&amp;rsquo; process and results.&lt;/p&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	Nonprofit organizations have a large number of fiscal requirements that add to the everyday workload. Instead of merely keeping up and meeting last-minute deadlines, there may be a way to get ahead of the fiscal process, gain control of the workload, and still maintain effective internal controls. Join us for an introduction to a general process for assessing the organization&amp;#39;s fiscal processes and developing steps and solutions to improve efficiency while incorporating internal controls.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

	Having strong internal controls and understanding the rules governing how you can and cannot spend federal dollars are keys to fiscal management and overall compliance in your organization.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	Professionals new to the organization, as well as professionals who have been there for decades, will benefit from this review of the administrative and cost principles/allocation sections of the &lt;em&gt;2 CFR Part 200 &amp;ndash; Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards&lt;/em&gt; (also known as the &amp;ldquo;Uniform Guidance&amp;rdquo;).&lt;/div&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

In addition, you will have the opportunity to participate in indirect cost rate calculation examples.&lt;/div&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	This session is designed specifically for board members of Head Start/Early Head Start (HS/EHS) organizations. The HS/EHS requirements for boards are like no others. Program and board members need to know what their role is so their agency doesn&amp;rsquo;t get into trouble. Over the past few years much more scrutiny has been placed on boards, and too many members are not fully aware of their responsibilities. This is a must-attend session for any board member of an HS/EHS grantee.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	The U.S. Department of Labor investment Fiduciary Rule for retirement plan advice is back in the news again&amp;mdash;but this time, it&amp;rsquo;s not the prospect of the rule but its fate that is in question. What could a world without the Fiduciary Rule mean for your organization&amp;rsquo;s retirement plan? How can you make sure that you and your employees are receiving the transparent, objective advice you deserve?&lt;/div&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	Davis-Bacon Act compliance is an often misunderstood requirement for Head Start organizations. There is little in the way of official guidance, and what is available can at times be contradictory. There are guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as well as requirements enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor, to be considered.&lt;/div&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	Although the name has changed, the results are the same. If you run an HS/EHS program, you need to generate non-federal match (in-kind)! Are you finding it harder to generate? Is answering the question, &amp;quot;Is this allowable match?&amp;quot; your responsibility? Does generating in-kind fall on your shoulders? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please join us for this updated session.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	We will discuss the tools, techniques, and regulations of generating, calculating, and documenting non-federal match. Make generating in-kind the responsibility of everyone in your program.&lt;/div&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	The Head Start/Early Head Start (HS/EHS) program is more than 50 years old and still making an impact!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;div&gt;
		If you are just starting a new job in the HS/EHS program or just started an HS/EHS program, this session will give you an idea of what you need to learn to help you be successful.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	Parents play a key role in the HS/EHS program. Join this online training to discuss how to engage (or reengage) parents and all volunteers in the program. We will discuss the history of parent involvement in the program. We will identify how parents are currently involved in programs. And we will explore ways engaged parents can be advocates for the program.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	The Head Start Act clearly states that goals for programs include &amp;ldquo;parent literacy training that leads to economic self-sufficiency and financial literacy.&amp;rdquo; Come hear easily transferable information about how to meet the requirement. Join a former banker (and person who lived in poverty) to engage in conversations about &lt;strong&gt;money!&lt;/strong&gt; We will discuss the psychology of money, easy tricks to save money, pitfalls to avoid, and free resources in your community.&lt;/div&gt;

	Your programs have a specific set of requirements to assist program leaders in identifying, recruiting, and selecting those children and families with the most need in their communities. In this session, we focus on all the eligibility, recruitment, selection, enrollment, and attendance (ERSEA) requirements of 45 CFR Part 1302, Subpart A, including adjusted guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	Change is happening around us, to us, and by us at a rapid pace. Often this makes us feel out of control as a board, a leadership team, and employees. It&amp;rsquo;s time to take back some control. This session will give you tools, techniques, and tips to help get ahead of change.&lt;/div&gt;

	Financial institutions (FI) need to prepare to continue the business and recover from a variety of incidents that could impact operations and service to customers. As FIs outsource more services, they become more dependent on the availability of service providers for day-to-day operations. In addition, cybersecurity threats, like malware and denial-of-service attacks, are threats that need to be considered in business continuity programs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	Recently, the FFIEC issued additional guidance (Appendix J) to the business continuity work program that requires institutions to consider these new threats and dependencies. The FFIEC makes it clear that BCP is a business issue, not an IT issue. Senior management and the board of directors are challenged to provide the governance and oversight over an FI&amp;rsquo;s cybersecurity and business continuity programs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

The main cause for approximately 20% of the terminated deals, as reported by intermediaries, was a valuation gap.

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	If you offer consumer credit, you will likely be required to comply with the provisions of the Military Lending Act beginning October 3, 2016. While the John Warner National Defense Act Talent Amendment was limited to three specific loan types that many creditors decided not to offer in order to avoid the compliance challenges, the Military Lending Act expands the coverage to other loan types offered by most creditors. In addition, you shouldn&amp;rsquo;t forget the Servicemembers&amp;rsquo; Civil Relief Act (SCRA), which also provides protections for service members and their families. These laws are highly scrutinized by regulators and should not be put on the back burner; let&amp;rsquo;s discuss their requirements and the impact on you.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;div&gt;
		It&amp;rsquo;s a fact that all business owners know: &amp;nbsp;At some point you will either transition ownership or sell your business. But why should you start preparing your business for sale when it isn&amp;rsquo;t on the market yet? Everything you do to prepare your business for sale will help make it more successful for the next generation of owners or potential buyers. Effective planning and preparation can put you in a better position when the time to sell is right and can help ensure a positive impact on the outcome.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	Risk management is a constant challenge in today&amp;rsquo;s financial services industry. From credit risk and interest rate risk to compliance risk and reputation risk, a multitude of risks impact each institution. Furthermore, the risk landscape is rapidly changing (e.g., with new regulatory requirements and FinTech disruption), creating emerging strategic risks. The regulators are taking note, and the Comptroller of the Currency, for example, recently released its own enterprise risk management (ERM) risk statement.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;div&gt;
		ERM is a significant management discipline that provides the framework and tools to identify risks, integrate risk management controls, and monitor risk levels and trends in any size financial institution.&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div&gt;
		&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
	This webinar offers important concepts regarding a basic ERM framework, guidance on basic ERM management techniques, and important tips on successful ERM processes.&lt;/div&gt;

	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	For many manufacturers, the federal research and development (R&amp;amp;D) tax credit has been a valuable tax planning opportunity since it became part of the tax code in 1981. Providing a dollar-for-dollar reduction in tax liability, the tax credit allows manufacturers of all sizes to reduce their taxes and increase cash flow, yet it is still often overlooked.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;strong&gt;Most manufacturers can qualify for R&amp;amp;D tax credits for things they do every day.&lt;/strong&gt; And now, the PATH Act, enacted in December 2015, has made significant changes in the R&amp;amp;D credit arena and significantly increases the opportunity for tax savings.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;

	Financial institutions selling loans to the secondary market are required to have a loan quality control (QC) program to monitor and evaluate the integrity of the loan origination and underwriting processes and to provide feedback to management on originations so appropriate action can be taken if issues are uncovered. In today&amp;rsquo;s environment, with its renewed emphasis on the quality of a financial institution&amp;rsquo;s loans, a robust quality control function is more important than ever. Ensuring quality begins before an application is taken and must continue throughout the processing, underwriting, and closing functions.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
	Implementing a new PAS is a very big deal; it can be an exhaustive and lengthy process (oftentimes years) with significant costs associated with it, both in terms of the implementation itself and of lost opportunity (at least until it is live everywhere).

&lt;div&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		Drawing their work force from an expanded geographic area.&lt;/li&gt;

	While these activities are often vital to business survival and growth, they often create both unforeseen complexity and liability in the payroll area. For businesses with operations in multiple states or that employ residents of other states, navigating the applicable payroll tax laws can be a nightmare.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
