Navigating COVID-19 Federal Funding and Assistance Accounting and Legal Issues

For those new to federal programs to experienced federal contracting hands, join HKA/the Kenrich Group and Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld as we discuss the best approaches to accounting and documenting requirements for federal programs affected by COVID-19:

• Cost accounting considerations in the times of COVID-19 (e.g., Section 3610, PPP, Main Street Lending and other Federal Reserve-backed programs, FAR 31 implications).
• Claims/REAs (including those related to COVID-19).
• Defense Production Act Contracts and new BARDA Vaccine Contracts.
• The CARES Act and HHS relief for hospitals and other health care providers.
• The TARP Program and other Oversight, Audit, and Investigatory Precedents for CARES Act Compliance and Enforcement.
• False Claims Act – Considerations when receiving Government funds.
