Return Reference Explanation
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds. DUE TO THE VARIOUS TYPES OF GRANT FUND EXPENDITURES THE UNIVERSITY USES MULTIPLE INTERNAL CONTROL PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING THE USE OF U.S. GRANT FUNDS AND ASSISTANCE. FELLOWSHIPS, PRIZES AND STIPEND PAYMENTS ARE MADE THROUGH OUR FINANCIAL SERVICES AND ACCOUNTS PAYABLE DEPARTMENT. THE PROCESS REQUIRES PRE-APPROVAL BY A PARTICULAR DEPARTMENT-HEAD AND SPECIFIC DOCUMENTATION AND AUTHORIZATIONS ARE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO PROCESS A PAYMENT. A MAJORITY OF PAYMENTS ARE MADE VIA CHECK. FOR DOMESTIC SCHOLARSHIPS, THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE (FAO) MAINTAINS AN INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL AID ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. THE FAO ADMINISTERS THE LISTING OF AWARD RECIPIENTS AND RECONCILES, ON A MONTHLY BASIS, THE CORRESPONDING EXPENSES WITH THE UNIVERSITY GENERAL LEDGER SYSTEM. THE CASH GRANTS ARE ALSO REFLECTED ON EACH INDIVIDUAL STUDENT ACCOUNT. THE FINANCIAL SERVICES OFFICE INDEPENDENTLY RECORDS THE TRANSACTIONS AFTER ALL REQUIRED SYSTEM-FEED DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED. ADDITIONALLY, ALL FEDERAL SCHOLARSHIP ACTIVITIES ARE MONITORED SEPARATELY BY THE SPONSORED ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT (SPA). FOR SUBCONTRACT RESEARCH GRANTS, THE UNIVERSITY MAINTAINS A SPONSORED RESEARCH ACCOUNTING (SPA) DEPARTMENT WHICH HAS FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT FOR ALL GRANT AND CONTRACT ACTIVITY. THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR (PI) IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ASPECTS OF A GRANT ALONG WITH THE COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES. SPECIFIC GRANT-RELATED EXPENDITURE ACTIVITIES ARE PROCESSED BY THE UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTS PAYABLE DEPARTMENT. SUB-RECIPIENT MONITORING: A PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR (PI) NEGOTIATES SUBCONTRACTS WITH SUB-RECIPIENTS THROUGH THE OFFICE OF THE VICE PROVOST. WHEN AN AGREEMENT IS FULLY EXECUTED, IT MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE OFFICE OF SPONSORED PROGRAMS ACCOUNTING (SPA) ALONG WITH A COMPLETED CONSULTANT PAYMENT FORM. ANY ISSUES REGARDING SUB-RECIPIENT PERFORMANCE ARE REPORTED TO THE OFFICE OF THE VICE PROVOST AND SPA. ALSO, SPA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT ALL SUB-RECIPIENTS ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133 REQUIREMENTS.
