Paycheck Protection Program: Key Developments and Preparing for Inevitable Audits and Enforcement Actions

Webinar | 05.01.20, 10:00 AM EDT - 11:00 AM EDT

On Friday, May 1, 2020, Crowell & Moring LLP will present its latest webinar on the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), covering key developments in this program as well as continued updates to guidance out of the Small Business Administration and Treasury on such issues as eligibility and loan amount calculation. We will discuss lessons learned from the first application cycle for PPP loans and the fallout that continues both in the media and in guidance, rules, and feedback from Treasury and the SBA. We will address the new guidance regarding the certification that the “[c]urrent economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Applicant” and discuss factors that all companies should consider in light of this guidance and the impending May 7, 2020 end to the “safe harbor” period. We will also address Treasury’s announcement today that all recipients of PPP loans over $2 million will be audited and provide a fulsome discussion of the audit and enforcement measures available to the Government. This webinar will contain practical advice on best practices regarding assessing and documenting eligibility determinations, managing use of PPP loan funds, and preparing for the inevitable audits and enforcement actions.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
