The world of university research has been inundated with change during 2025. Audits are one of the few constants amidst the turbulence we have experienced. The federal government and other sponsors continue to conduct incurred cost and compliance engagements, and the Single (Uniform Guidance) Audit is still an annual task for most institutions. This webinar will focus on recent audits to help institutions know what to expect from such activities.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Understand the basic structure of an audit of a sponsored program
- Understand how reviewing published audits can improve an institution’s fiscal compliance
- Hear about recent audits conducted by federal Inspectors General
- Learn sources for additional information regarding federal audit

NCURA Live Webinar: Research Compliance Across the Life Cycle: From Current & Pending Support to Effort Reporting
Oct. 14, 2025
1:00 – 2:30 pm CT * Webinar
2:35 – 3:30 pm CT * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly
Research compliance is not a single checkpoint—it’s an ongoing responsibility that spans the entire life cycle of an award. From the proposal stage to project closeout, institutions must ensure transparency, accuracy, and alignment with evolving federal regulations. This session will guide research administrators through critical compliance touchpoints, beginning with disclosure obligations such as Current and Pending (or Other) Support, and concluding with post-award responsibilities such as effort reporting. Participants will gain practical insights for managing disclosures, ensuring appropriate oversight, and navigating emerging regulatory expectations. This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of compliance obligations from pre-award to closeout. Participants will explore best practices for aligning internal processes with federal regulations, sponsor requirements, and institutional policies.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Identify key compliance requirements at each stage of the research award lifecycle, from proposal to closeout.
- Explain the purpose, content, and federal expectations for Current and Pending (or Other) Support disclosures and how they relate to research integrity and transparency
- Recognize common institutional responsibilities related to non-financial and financial compliance.
- Explain core concepts in effort reporting and alternative methods for compensation compliance.
- Evaluate the impact of emerging policies and guidance on compliance operations and institutional readiness.
- Differentiate between institutional and individual responsibilities in maintaining research compliance and identifying potential conflicts of interest or commitment.
- Articulate the potential consequences of non-compliance for both individuals and the institution.
- Apply best practices and implement internal controls to proactively manage compliance risks and avoid common audit findings.
