Simplifying and modernizing the Tri-Agency Financial Administration Guide:
- The Agencies are looking to streamline and simplify the administration and use of grant funds by creating a 'principles-based' guide that promotes efficiencies, reduces administrative burden and provides greater flexibility to administering institutions and grant recipients in ensuring the appropriate accountability and use of grant funds.
- This principles-based guide will foster a balance between control and flexibility, and it will also take into consideration existing administering institutions' policies, processes and internal controls.
