Sponsored Financial Reporting (SFR) is the institutional unit reporting to the Controller's Office that is responsible for submitting financial reports and invoices to sponsors to fulfill award requirements. SFR staff accountants prepare sponsor-required financial invoices and reports with assistance from Principal Investigators and Department Administrators.  Invoices and reports are prepared based on the frequency and due date requirements established by the sponsor and written in the award documents.  

Sponsored Financial Reporting receives all revenue on behalf of the University for sponsored grants and contracts. SFR collection representatives follow up with the sponsor on all past due invoices to ensure receipt of payment on invoices and work with both sponsors and academic departments on quality or quantity issues related to non-payment.

Sponsored Financial Reporting is responsible for closing all sponsored awards in the financial system once the award is over, all spending complete and all payments received.

Sponsored Financial Reporting is responsible for coordinating sponsor, state and federal financial audits including the A-133 audit of expenditures of federal awards. They provide information for the University's annual reports, supplemental schedules and consolidated financial statements.
