Breakout Session 3

Thursday - 2:00 pm

301: Lost/Stopped/Voided Checks and OMG did your dog eat this?

What do you do if someone gives you money? Most people would answer either “Spend It!” or “Deposit It!”.
But people are amazing and whether they are employees or vendors they seem to come up with the most
inventive ways of NOT doing either. So what happens when you have to void a check? Or a direct deposit?
When do I stop a check? What is it doing to my GL? Where does the bank fit into this? Or the County Treasur-
er? Can I pay this person in chickens next time? All these question and more will be answered!

302: The Buzz Around Time and Effort

Many grant administrators, regulators or auditors ask for time and effort at various points during the year, and
you might be too embarrassed to ask basic questions like why it’s required or who is required to complete it. Rest
assured; this session will start with the basics on when and why time and effort is required and end with best
practices to ensure an efficient and compliant time and effort process for your various federal programs. Don’t
worry, we’ll also cover time and effort requirements for the new CARES Act funding, too!
