Regulatory Compliance
OMB Final Uniform Guidance, effective December 26, 2014
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) serves the President of the United States in overseeing the implementation of his
vision across the Executive Branch. Specifically, OMB’s mission is to assist the President
in meeting his policy, budget, management and regulatory objectives and to fulfill
the agency’s statutory responsibilities.
The OMB’s Uniform Guidance took effect December 26, 2014. It consolidates eight OMB
circulars into a single document and changes some fundamental concepts underlying
the management of sponsored programs. In particular, it provides guidance on Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal awards.
The Guidance was drawn from OMB Circulars A–21, A–87, A–110, and A–122 (which have
been placed in past OMB guidances); Circulars A–89, A–102, and A–133; and the guidance
in Circular A–50 on Single Audit Act follow-up.
Anyone who is involved in federal research and the administration of federal research
activities should understand the regulations included in the Uniform Guidance in order
to ensure federal compliance requirements.
