Uniform Guidance

Uniform Guidance refers to a set of federal regulations in the United States that streamlines the rules for managing and using federal funds awarded to non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and state and local governments. Established to improve efficiency and transparency, it covers how recipients must conduct financial management, record-keeping, and reporting. Uniform Guidance aims to ensure accountability while reducing administrative burdens, allowing organizations to focus more on their programs and services, ultimately enhancing the effective use of public money. It encompasses areas like cost principles, audit requirements, and performance measurement.
