Abstract:
The 2015 DOJ Grants Financial Guide (the “Guide”) serves as the primary reference manual to assist OJP, OVW, and COPS Office award recipients in fulfilling their fiduciary responsibility to safeguard grant funds and ensure funds are used for the purposes for which they were awarded. It compiles a variety of laws, rules and regulations that affect the financial and administrative management of your award. There may be instances where the requirements may differ among the three grant-making components; those differences are spelled out throughout this Guide. We have provided references to the underlying laws and regulations as much as possible. This Guide should be the starting point for all recipients and subrecipients in ensuring the effective day-to-day management of your awards. The provisions of this 2015 Guide apply to Department of Justice awards made after December 26, 2014.
