The Legal Services Corporation is seeking comments on proposed revisions to its Accounting Guide for LSC Recipients. The guide, last revised in 1997, sets forth accounting, financial management and reporting guidelines for recipients of LSC funds.

The intent of the revisions is to reflect more current accounting and financial oversight practices and to address grantee financial issues mentioned in a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report. The proposed revisions were drafted by LSC’s Fiscal Advisory Group, which is comprised of chief financial officers from eight LSC grantees and LSC staff.

All comments should be submitted by March 19 to the attention of Chuck Greenfield, LSC Program Counsel, by e-mail to AccountingGuide@lsc.gov, by fax to (202) 337-6813, or by mail to 3333 K St., NW, Washington, D.C., 20007.
