Today's Tip: CLOSEOUT

CLOSEOUT To ensure compliance with sponsored award established fiscal deadlines, OCGA requests a final expenditure certification from the PI or designee at least 15 days prior to the required submission date of the final financial report/invoice. 

For example:

Final Financial Invoice/Report due to sponsor after end of award period	Final Financial Certification due to OCGA after end of award period
30 days	15 days
60 days	45 days
90 days	75 days

Certification may be in the form of an email or via the Final Expenditure Certification Template for Departments on OCGA’s website. Many interim technical reports also require financial data. Coordinate with the assigned OCGA grant accountant to obtain this financial information.
