Federal Financial Report Instructions


Report Submissions

1) Recipients will be instructed by Federal agencies to submit the Federal Financial Report (FFR) to a single location, except when an automated payment management reporting system is utilized. In this case, a second submission location may be required by the agency.


2) If recipients need more space to support their FFRs, or FFR Attachments, they should provide supplemental pages. These additional pages must indicate the following information at the top of each page: Federal grant or other identifying number (if reporting on a single award), recipient organization, Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, Employer Identification Number (EIN), and period covered by the report.


Reporting Requirements

1) The submission of interim FFRs will be on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis, as directed by the Federal agency. A final FFR shall be submitted at the completion of the award agreement. The following reporting period end dates shall be used for interim reports: 3/31, 6/30, 9/30, or 12/31. For final FFRs, the reporting period end date shall be the end date of the project or grant period.

2) Quarterly and semi-annual interim reports shall be submitted no later than 30 days after the end of each reporting period. Annual reports shall be submitted no later than 90 days after the end of each reporting period. Final reports shall be submitted no later than 90 days after the project or grant period end date.


Note: For single award reporting:


1) Federal agencies may require both cash management information on lines 10(a) through 10(c) and financial status information lines 10(d) through 10(o).


2) 10(b) and 10(e) may not be the same until the final report.

Project/Grant Period,

From: (Month, Day, Year)

Indicate the period established in the award document during which

Federal sponsorship begins and ends.


Note: Some agencies award multi-year grants for a project period that is funded in increments or budget periods (typically annual increments). Throughout the project period, agencies often require cumulative reporting for consecutive budget periods. Under these circumstances, enter the beginning and ending dates of the project period not the budget period.


Do not complete this line if reporting on multiple awards.


Project/Grant Period, To:

(Month, Day, Year)

See the above instructions for “Project/Grant Period, From: (Month, Day,

Year).”

Enter the ending date of the reporting period. For quarterly, semi-annual,

and annual interim reports, use the following reporting period end dates:

3/31, 6/30, 9/30, or 12/31. For final FFRs, the reporting period end date shall be the end date of the project or grant period.

10

Transactions

Enter cumulative amounts from date of the inception of the award through the end date of the reporting period specified in line 9.

Use Lines 10a through 10c, Lines 10d through 10o, or Lines 10a through 10o, as specified by the

Federal agency, when reporting on single grants.

Use Line 12, Remarks, to provide any information deemed necessary to support or explain FFR data.

Federal Cash (To report multiple grants, also use FFR Attachment)

10a

Cash Receipts

Enter the cumulative amount of actual cash received from the Federal agency as of the reporting period end date.

10b

Cash Disbursements

Enter the cumulative amount of Federal fund disbursements by the grantee (such as cash or checks) as of the reporting period end date. Disbursements are the sum of actual cash disbursements (of Federally authorized funds) for direct charges for goods and services, the amount of indirect expenses charged to the award, and the amount of cash advances and payments (of Federally authorized funds) made to subrecipients and contractors.


For multiple grants, report each grant separately on the FFR Attachment. The sum of the cumulative cash disbursements on the FFR Attachment must equal the amount entered on Line 10b, FFR.

10c

Cash On Hand (Line 10a

Minus Line 10b)

Enter the amount of Line 10a minus Line 10b. This amount represents immediate cash needs.

Use of Aggregated Amounts of Disbursements and Advances. A recipient must compute the amount of Federal Cash on Hand due to undisbursed advance payments using the same basis that it uses in requesting the advances. Therefore, in doing the computation, a recipient may only aggregate the amounts of its advance payments received and disbursements of Federal funds under multiple awards only if it is authorized to aggregate its requests for advance payments in the same manner. The following examples should help to illustrate what is permissible:

  • If a recipient is authorized to consolidate its requests for advance payment for a group of awards—i.e., it requests a single amount to cover its anticipated cash needs for the awards in the aggregate, then it may similarly compute the Cash on Hand by subtracting the aggregated amount of disbursements from the aggregated amount of the advances received for those awards.

  • If the same recipient is required to request payment individually for other Federal awards, it must compute the Cash on Hand for each of those awards on an award by award basis and correspondingly report these awards on separate FFRs.

Exclusion of Negative Balances of Cash on Hand. In computing the total amount of Cash on Hand for its Federal awards in the aggregate, a recipient must exclude any negative balance of Federal Cash on Hand for an individual award or for a group of awards paid through a consolidated payment request.



This includes each award paid by the reimbursement method and any award using the advance method that has disbursements in excess of advances received to date. The computation must include only positive balances of cash on hand.

If more than three business days of cash are on hand, the Federal agency may require an explanation on Line 12, Remarks, explaining why the drawdown was made prematurely or other reasons for the excess cash.

Federal Expenditures and Unobligated Balance: Do not complete this section if reporting on multiple awards.

10d

Total Federal Funds

Authorized

Enter the total Federal funds authorized as of the reporting period end date.

10e

Federal Share of

Expenditures

Enter the amount of Federal fund expenditures. For reports prepared on a cash basis, expenditures are the sum of cash disbursements for direct charges for property and services; the amount of indirect expense charged; and the amount of cash advance payments and payments made to subrecipients. For reports prepared on an accrual basis, expenditures are the sum of cash disbursements for direct charges for property and services; the amount of indirect expense incurred; and the net increase or decrease in the amounts owed by the recipient for (1) goods and other property received; (2) services performed by employees, contractors, subrecipients, and other payees; and (3) programs for which no current services or performance are required. Do not include program income expended in accordance with the deduction alternative, rebates, refunds, or other credits. (Program income expended in accordance with the deduction alternative should be reported separately on Line 10m.)

10f

Federal Share of

Unliquidated Obligations

Unliquidated obligations on a cash basis are obligations of Federally authorized funds which are incurred, but not yet paid as of the end of the reporting period. On an accrual basis, they are obligations of Federally authorized funds which have been incurred, but for which an expenditure has not yet been recorded, as of the end of the reporting period. Enter the amount of unliquidated obligations of Federally authorized funds. Those obligations include direct and indirect expenses incurred but not yet paid or charged to the award, including amounts due to subrecipients and contractors. On the final report, this line should be zero unless the awarding agency has provided other instructions.



Do not include any amount in Line 10f that has been reported in Line 10e. Do not include any amount in Line 10f for a future commitment of funds (such as a long-term contract) for which an obligation or expense has not been incurred.

10g

Total Federal Share (Sum

of Lines 10e and 10f)

Enter the sum of Lines 10e and 10f.

Recipient Share: Do not complete this section if reporting on multiple awards.

10i

Total Recipient Share

Required

Enter the total required recipient share for reporting period specified in

line 9. The required recipient share should include all matching and cost sharing provided by recipients and third-party providers to meet the level required by the Federal agency. This amount should not include cost sharing and match amounts in excess of the amount required by the Federal agency (for example, cost overruns for which the recipient incurs additional expenses and, therefore, contributes a greater level of cost sharing or match than the level required by the Federal agency).

10j

Recipient Share of

Expenditures

Enter the recipient share of actual cash disbursements or outlays (less any rebates, refunds, or other credits) including payments to subrecipients and contractors. This amount may include the value of allowable third party in-kind contributions and recipient share of program income used to finance the non-Federal share of the project or program. Note: On the final report this line should be equal to or greater than the amount of Line 10i.

10k

Remaining Recipient Share

to be Provided (Line 10i

Minus Line10j)

Enter the amount of Line 10i minus Line 10j. If recipient share in Line

10j is greater than the required match amount in Line 10i, enter zero.
