The purpose of these reviews is to ensure that the amounts reported on the SEFA align with the allowable activities that are not based on cost reimbursement. This process will ensure proper reporting that is in line with the reimbursement policies of the granting agency. Furthermore, the Director of Grants and the Grants Fiscal Team will review all award terms to ensure an accurate reporting structure for accounting and SEFA reporting purposes.
