American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Training

In keeping with its mandate to prevent and detect waste, fraud and abuse of public resources, the Massachusetts Office of the Inspector General’s (OIG), through its Pandemic Funding Oversight Unit, is offering two free webinars on current rules and best practices for use of Fiscal Recovery Funds under ARPA.
