Scope

This policy provides authoritative guidance for the University in closing all sponsored agreements managed in the PeopleSoft Grants Module.

Reason for Policy

To provide guidance to make certain the University complies with Uniform Guidance.

Policy Statement

Each campus sponsored programs office (SPO) should provide to departments a notification that an agreement is ending prior to the award end date.

  • Departments complete Timely reviews of each project/contract to ensure that charges posting to the ChartField are applicable and allowable and incurred within the Period of Performance.
  • All charges which are found to be unallowable must be moved to another ChartField Timely.

Every award will specify a time span at the end of the award in which the University is required to submit all final financial and technical reports. For all Federal awards, the University is required to submit, no later than the due date after the end date of the period of performance, all financial, performance specified in the award document, and other reports required by the terms and conditions of the award (OMB Uniform Guidance §200.343).

  • Departments provide all necessary reconciliations, receipts, and other documentation to SPO and/or sponsors upon request.
  • Unless the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity authorizes an extension, the University must draw or submit a request for reimbursement for obligations incurred under the Federal award no later than the due date specified in the award document.

At the end of an award, the SPO will verify that all invoices have been received from the subcontractor before preparing a final financial report or final invoice for the prime agreement.  The SPO will work with campus departments and PIs to ensure pending expenditures are captured in the final invoice and/or final financial report.

Following completion and submission of final financial report SPO must complete a Closeout review, providing all pertinent information related to the closing of the agreement.
