The SF-425 Federal Financial Report (FFR) should reflect all activities against the Federal award depending if you are reporting on a cash or accrual basis. Whether the grantee advances the payment, or provides it as a cost reimbursement-based award, reporting the subgrant expenses as they are incurred/approved provides an accurate reflection of the rate of spending on the award and abides by (2CRF § 200.502(a)).

Line 10.b (Cash Disbursements) and Line 10.e (Federal share of expenditures) should reflect the sum of all expenses including: direct costs for goods and services and approved reported subaward expenses.

Line 10.f (Federal Share of Unliquidated Obligations) should reflect the amount of outstanding dollars incurred by the grantee. For cash base reporting, 10.f reflects dollars incurred but not yet paid. For accrual base reporting, 10.f reflects dollars incurred but not yet recorded.

Please discuss any potential changes in reporting these expenditures on the FFR with the Grants Office in advance at [email protected].
