In the future, to ensure that all grant activity is included on the SEFA in the proper year per the UG, Miami University will: Create a new year end folder called “Future Fiscal Year Agreements FYXX” and save any new documents that have a future fiscal year start date in the file. At the beginning of the new fiscal year review the documents that are in the file and if fully executed agreements have been received, create the new grant with the appropriate start date in the current fiscal year. Not set up the grant or fund prior to the grant agreement start date unless pre-award spending is allowed. A “review upcoming fiscal year agreements” reminder will be added to the calendar to ensure that the grant is set up in the correct fiscal year and that expenses are charged in the appropriate fiscal year.When the SEFA is prepared each year, check to make sure any new agreements that were in the fiscal year folder are captured on the report if there were expenses for that year.
