During the Shutdown Reporting to Sponsors During the Shutdown • GCA continues to prepare financial reports • Departments will receive a GT notification when reports are completed that are unable to be submitted due to the shutdown • Affected reports will be submitted as soon as the situation is resolved and the sponsor reporting systems are brought back online • Departments will receive another GT notification when the report has been successfully submitted Invoicing Sponsors During the Shutdown • GCA continues to prepare and submit invoices to federal sponsors • More information will be communicated if online submissions are affected
Budgets Affected by a Stop Work Order • Stop work orders are being processed under a PAC by OSP and are being sent to GCA • GCA updated these budgets to status 3 (closed to expenditures) on Wednesday, 10/9/2013 • This allowed September 16-30, 2013 payroll expenditures to post
Budgets Affected by a Stop Work Order • For allowable expenditures for costs incurred prior to the stop work order which need to post to an affected budget: • Submit a GrantTracker request using the topic “Other” • Include “Shutdown” in the summary line • Provide the expenditure amount(s) and object code(s) • GCA will update the budget to status 1 to allow expenditures to post • GCA will then return the budget to status 3 after the expenditures have posted • Once the PAC is received to lift the stop work order, GCA will re-open the budget to status 1
Federal Cash Draws GCA continues to draw federal cash daily • NSF is the only sponsor we are unable to draw from
