Course Description

Sefton Boyars is joined by Bill Allen for this two-hour class on general cost principles of federal government grants. General cost
principles are the rules that govern if any cost is acceptable to be charged to
a federal grant. The course will cover everything from identifying the “big
three” general cost principles, the Prudent Person Rule, requirements for the
arms-length bargaining, and judging whether a cost is allowable. It will

federal grant personnel, and auditors of federal grant programs.
