Compliance requirements are a series of directives established by United States Federal government agencies that summarize hundreds of Federal laws and regulations applicable to Federal assistance (also known as Federal aid or Federal funds). They are currently incorporated into the OMB A-133 Compliance Supplement, which was created by the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
In order to facilitate a recipients’s compliance with Federal laws and regulations, and as well as its annual Single Audit, the OMB created fourteen basic and standard compliance requirements for which recipients must always comply with when receiving and using such Federal assistance, and provided detailed explanations, discussions, and guidance about them in the OMB A-133 Compliance Supplement. The compliance requirements only serve as guidelines for compliance with the hundreds of laws and regulations applicable to the specific type assistance used by the recipient, and their objectives are designed to be generic in nature due to the amount of different Federal programs provided by the Federal government. The Compliance Requirements are assigned a letter in alphabetical order for easier identification.

Famous quotes containing the word compliance:
“This is the day when people reciprocally offer, and receive, the kindest and the warmest wishes, though, in general, without meaning them on one side, or believing them on the other. They are formed by the head, in compliance with custom, though disavowed by the heart, in consequence of nature.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
