What online modules are included in the Thompson Grants Compliance Expert Knowledge Center?
- Federal Grants Development Module — Find federal funding, develop competitive proposals and take the steps needed to stay in compliance with the complicated rules that govern federal dollars. Most importantly, you'll stay on top of new grant guidance, merit criteria and risk-prevention procedures — all issues of particular importance as you work to understand the requirements of the uniform guidance and avoid disqualified proposals.
- Federal Grants Management Module — The uniform guidance identifies the procedures and expectations for anyone who works with or monitors grants, but, more importantly, it shifts the focus from compliance to a new emphasis on performance. As the most comprehensive and trusted guide for the federal grants community since 1978, this resource can help you manage your funds in light of the increasingly complicated regulatory landscape, including how the guidance impacts financial management systems, procurement and property standards, audit resolutions, time and effort documentation, financial and performance reporting, and more!
- Single Audit Information Service Module — This A-to-Z guide breaks down the most complex and potentially confusing single audit requirements for grant recipients that expend more than $750,000 in agency funding. But what if your organization doesn't make the audit threshold? Are you still subject to a federal audit? What should you prepare for? Find out about the audit process, different types of audits, the most recurring audit findings and how to avoid them.
- Techniques for Monitoring Federal Subawards, 6th Edition — A no-nonsense reference for pass-through entities, subrecipients and contractors alike, this guide is a must have for any who need to understand their increased responsibilities under the uniform guidance.

Thompson Grants Training
What is a webinar and how does it work?
A webinar is like a large conference call, but in a more controlled, program-like environment. The entire "conference" is conducted via the telephone, and a speakerphone is the only equipment needed to participate in the conference as a listener.
An organization interested in participating in a specific conference needs to register for it using one of our 3 easy ordering methods. Registration includes:
- access to a 90-minute interactive call for as many people as can fit in a room with a speakerphone
- downloadable presentation handouts-which are made available 24 hours prior to the call
- an opportunity to participate in a live Q&A session following the presentation
Each Thompson Grants webinar runs for approximately 90 minutes. The expert speaker usually uses the first 75 minutes to share "how-to" tips and real-world insights on a particular topic. During this speaker presentation portion of the webinar, registrants are in a "listen-only" mode. After the presentation portion is concluded, the phones are opened for a live interactive Q&A session, with webinar attendees queuing up to ask questions of the presenters. This part of the webinar usually lasts for 15 minutes.
