Heartland is currently taking steps to comply with the Federal Grant rules identified in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-87, pertaining to documentation needed for federal expenditures. For employees who are funded 100% with federal funding, there are Circular A-87 audit requirements we need to meet in order to document appropriate expenditures. If you are in the fully funded group, on December 7 you will receive an e-mail from aea11_online_systems_WF with the subject A87 Certification Notice - Action Required with a link to the certification page. The process is very simple and is the same as last year.
If you are new to this process or need a refresher, below is a link to a PowerPoint presentation that explains the background for Circular A-87 and the steps Heartland is taking to meet the A-87 requirements. Please watch the 5-minute video by clicking on the link below. Keep in mind that the video was created in March 2011. Although some of the dates and timelines in the video are old, the process and the purpose of the A-87 certification are still the same.

You will need to click on the play button in order to start the video. As the video will explain, employees who are fully funded from one grant will need to certify every six months that they are performing duties allowed under the federal grant.
Please contact Brian Whalen, Business Manager, at bwhalen@aea11.k12.ia.us or ext. 14005 if you have problems or questions. The Business Office appreciates your prompt completion of the certifications and your assistance in helping us comply with this reporting requirement.
