The timing and detail for such reports is specified in the award document. Interim, final financial reports and invoices provide the sponsor with evidence of good stewardship of the funding. Failure to report in the manner and on the timeline prescribed by the sponsor may call into question the ability of the PI to manage the project and/or the financial controls of the University STATEMENT: This policy seeks to promote compliance with federal, state, and other sponsor requirements related to sponsored projects financial reporting (OMB Circular A-110 C.52 and D.71).

SAO will issue financial reports based upon the general ledger activity at the close of an interim and/or final budget period, consistent with established financial reporting, and account closeout procedures APPLICABILITY: This policy applies to all faculty and staff working directly on sponsored projects; therefore, this policy is to be followed by all principal investigators, departmental administrators, Sponsored Accounting, Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP), and the Office of Sponsored Research for the Georgetown University Medical Center (OSR) ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Principal Investigator (or designee) Reviews financial reports with their department business office (Cost Center Manager) to determine that financial records accurately reflect the use of sponsor funds.
