Advanced Financial Management Series - Session 2: A Primer on Indirect Cost Rate
Session 2 of 5 of TDA’s Financial Management Series
Indirect costs are costs for common or joint purposes within an organization that benefit all programs or projects. While the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) provides guidance on indirect cost rates in 2 CFR 200, for many people they remain a mystery.
Join us for 90 minutes as we pull the curtain back on indirect cost rates and explore the requirements and options you and your partners have.
