Purpose of Step

The purpose of this step is to gather grant account information which will be used to complete boxes 6 through 9 of the Federal Financial Report (FFR) SF-425 form.

Actions for this Step

Specify whether a cash or accrual basis was used for recording transactions related to the award(s) and for preparing this FFR.  Accrual basis of accounting refers to the accounting method in which expenses are recorded when incurred. For cash basis accounting, expenses are recorded when they are paid.

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.

    1. Enter the SF-425 Reporting Period End Date for which you are creating this report. Use the format MM/DD/YYYY. The date may also be chosen from the popup calendar. 

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.
