  • Sponsored Accounting Cost Transfer Policy

    Division of Sponsored Program Administration; Georgia Health Sciences University (2002-02)
    This policy establishes requirements for processing transfers of direct costs to or from sponsored accounts. Federal regulations, generally accepted accounting principles, and good management practices require that all costs incurred be appropriate to and for the direct benefit of the project charged, and that accounting records be maintained on a timely and accurate basis. Audit reports routinely question or disallow cost transfers, in particular those that are frequent, tardy, unexplained or inadequately explained.

  • Effort Reporting Policy

    Division of Sponsored Program Administration; Georgia Health Sciences University (2003-04)
    This policy establishes institutional requirements for reporting effort on extramurally sponsored projects. Compensation for personnel services constitutes the largest component of the expenses charged to sponsored projects so it is important that the effort is charged correctly to the projects. Effort reporting is a process required by the federal government to verify that direct charges for salary to Federally sponsored agreements are reasonable and reflect actual work performed. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requires that distribution of salaries, whether treated as direct or facilities and administrative (F&A) costs, must be documented in the accounting system. OMB Circular A-21 requires that the allocation of salaries will be accomplished by a method which will be in accordance with the criteria in A-21, will produce an equitable distribution of charges for employee’s activities, and distinguishes employees’ direct activities from their F&A activities.

  • Clearing Unallowable Expenditures

    Division of Sponsored Program Administration; Georgia Health Sciences University (2003-04)
    This policy defines the action centers/institutes/departments (“departments”) must take to clear unallowable expenditures from sponsored accounts. It is the principal investigator’s responsibility to appropriately manage the funds received from sponsors. Each department (via the departmental manager or chair) must also monitor expenditures on sponsored projects. If a sponsored project has expenditures that are unallowable on a sponsored account (e.g., overspent budget or budget category, expensed items that are not allowable by the sponsor, or expenses that are inappropriate to the project), it is the principal investigator’s/department’s responsibility to move those expenses off the sponsored account in a timely fashion.
