Major Changes in the Uniform Guidance (UG) Affecting Purchases Using Federal Funds
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has combined many federal circulars into a single guidance document that may be used by all federal agencies. These new regulations became effective December 26, 2014 for all guidance except for purchasing. The purchasing changes became effective on July 1, 2018. Funding agency policy may have its own OMB approved deviations and should still be reviewed for their specific requirements.
