Foreign Gifts and Contracts Reporting: Increased Compliance Risk for Higher Education
Webinar | 04.09.20, 11:00 AM EDT - 12:00 PM EDT
The Department of Education has increased its scrutiny of universities receiving foreign gifts and contracts under Section 117 of the Higher Education Act. Universities are required to report contracts with and gifts from a foreign source that are valued at $250,000 or more in a calendar year. DoE has published an information collection request detailing a new reporting system and is expected to pursue related rulemaking. Reporting is next due on July 31, 2020.
Join Crowell & Moring attorneys for a discussion of best practices for compliance and reporting as well as lessons learned from recent DoE investigations and guidance.

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors.
