Fall Forum Agenda and Session Descriptions

Pdf Summary

The 2026 Fall Forum, <strong>“Strategies for Organization-Wide Compliance,”</strong> takes place on October 20, 2026. The day-long program focuses on practical ways to strengthen grants management and compliance across organizations.

Sessions cover building a collaborative culture of compliance; aligning internal controls, policies, procedures, and everyday practices; and turning audit findings into effective, lasting corrective actions. Speakers will also address onboarding and supporting first-time federal subrecipients, including identifying capacity gaps, providing technical assistance, and using risk-based monitoring.

Later sessions explore how monitoring throughout a grant’s performance period can reduce closeout risks, and how organizations can prepare for proposed Uniform Guidance changes by assessing operational impacts and planning updates to policies, procedures, training, and systems.

The agenda runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, with sessions at basic and intermediate levels, breaks, lunch, and an optional networking hour. Across the program, participants will gain tools to improve accountability, coordination, audit readiness, subrecipient capacity, and long-term compliance.
