90 Minutes: What are internal controls and what do they mean to research institutions? There is a vastly increased emphasis on internal controls in the Uniform Guidance, which has led research institutions to reassess their approach for documenting and assessing their sponsored research internal controls.

This webinar will discuss how the Uniform Guidance defines “internal controls," describe the application of the COSO framework as a standard for internal controls, and provide an example of how a research institution is taking a proactive approach in documenting and evaluating its internal controls over sponsored research within the COSO framework.
