OMB Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200)
On December 26, 2013, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements (Uniform Guidance or 2 CFR 200). The Uniform Guidance (UG) streamlines and supersedes guidance previously contained in eight separate OMB Circulars. For Institutions of Higher Education, like the University of Miami, the UG supersedes OMB Circulars A-110, A-21 and A-133. Included in the guidance are uniform administrative requirements (pre and post award), cost principles, audit requirements and definitions. Below are links to the Uniform Guidiance Part Title 2 last amended 10/18/2021.
