Document Routing and Allowable/Unallowable Costs

All financial documents should be reviewed and approved (initial/signed, dated or electronic approval) by the PI and forwarded to the Grants Office. The Grants Office reviews documents for UMM and all-University requirements. Many usual University costs may be unallowable on a sponsored project. For some examples of common unallowable costs, click here. For further information on managing sponsored accounts, click here.

Financial reports (internal)

The PI is responsible for reviewing the monthly CUFS reports for accuracy and reconciling each report. The Grants Office is available to provide assistance as needed.

Financial reports (external)

Sponsored Financial Reporting on the Twin Cities campus is responsible for submitting official financial reports to the funding agency. The Grants Office will assist the PI in gathering the information necessary for SFR to complete and submit the report. All external reports must be reviewed prior to submission - see Policy on External Reports.
