CARES Act Tribal Relief Fund Training Par 2 - Webinar

Webinar Topic: CARES Act Tribal Relief Fund Training Par 2

Date: September 30, 2020 1:30 p.m. AK Time

FREE FOR FULL MEMBERS/SPONSORS

ANCs are still waiting to receive much-needed COVID-19 relief funds pending our court case, but it is never a bad idea to plan ahead!

ANVCA wants to ensure that our members remain on the right side of the law when considering how they may deploy their resources to respond to COVID-19.

We are offering a series of training opportunities with Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt and BDO to help navigate Title V and CARES Act allowable and non-allowable expenses.

Many of you may be wondering the best way to ensure resources are getting to shareholders or tribal members who need it most, and per cap dividends and distributions ARE NOT ALLOWED.

Attend this training to learn best practices from other tribes and how to properly track expenditures for an eventual Audit.

There is a small fee to cover cost of speakers - register today to get the meeting login information!
