This training runs over five days and you are required to log in at set times each day to attend a live webinar, each lasting approximately 120 minutes. You will also access videos and join discussions.

We estimate this training requires four hours per day, depending on your pace of learning, and previous experience.

Who should attend

  • Anyone managing or bidding on a USAID grant or cooperative agreement from finance, compliance, program, administrative, or new business development teams
  • Independent auditors or CPAs who perform compliance or financial audits within the development sector
  • USAID staff, especially Agreement Officers (AOs) and Agreement Officer’s Representatives (AORs)

This training can help you with regulations that apply across US Government funding agencies. However, if you have a USAID contract, you should attend our USAID Contract Management  training instead.

The USAID Rules and Regulations course was an engaging learning opportunity and helped to reinforce my team’s knowledge of compliance regulations. The course instructor was engaging and delightful to learn from. I appreciated that we dug right into the documents and were encouraged to problem solve in small groups with other attendees.

I gained a great general understanding of the complexity of the rules & regulations of working with USAID and am grateful to have taken this seminar. I really enjoyed the seminar. It was very easy to follow along with, and the format allowing for simultaneous Q&A was extremely helpful. Lastly, the technology format used for the webinars seemed flawless, so kudos on that!
