In keeping with the requirement of Uniform Guidance, Sponsored Accounting submits all Final Financial Reports (FFRs) to the appropriate awarding agency within the 90 or 120 days allowed, depending on the sponsor’s deadline. Expenses that are not in SAP prior to submission cannot be included in the FFR.
Contact Dale Twomey, Manager of Sponsored Accounting, if you:
- Have a physical copy of an invoice that has yet to post
- Are waiting on a final invoice from a subrecipient
- Have salary entries that will not post until the end of the month
When one of your DLC’s sponsored accounts expires, VPF’s Sponsored Accounting team conducts an audit of the account to confirm that it complies with applicable guidelines. The team will send an email to confirm this account is ready to close and include any necessary action items. Review a typical Sponsored Accounting Closeout Notification.
Take immediate action to resolve all outstanding issues. Review the Research Administration Services (RAS) page Sponsored Research Projects Accounting Closeout Process for tips and guidance.
Respond to the Sponsored Accounting Closeout Notification within 10 business days. If you do not respond by this deadline, the Sponsored Accounting team will send a reminder/notification that it will close the account within five business days.
If you don’t respond to this second notification, the team will close the account and allocate any outstanding expenses to your DLC’s general or discretionary account. Review a sample Closeout Follow-Up (Second Notification).
A Sponsored Accounting team member will work with Research Administration Services (RAS) and the project sponsor to complete the closeout process.
