Purpose:
This procedure shall ensure that all Federal projects, direct and pass-through, do have the correct number of the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA number) assigned to them. This is of particular importance for the inclusion of the project during the annual A-133 audit, and the correct listing in the 'Schedule of Expenditures in Federal Awards'.
Procedure:
In preparation for the annual audit, all liaisons will review all their projects, if a CFDA number has been correctly applied.
Additionally, the sponsored programs team member in charge of the preparation of the A-133 project listing spreadsheet, will review all active projects for the correct assignment of a CFDA number.
The Director, Sponsored Programs will ensure that the activities above are completed correctly and in a timely manner.
For all projects, where a correct assignment of a CFDA number is not possible at the time, a common placeholder CFDA number will be assigned.
Responsible:
The liaisons are responsible for the CFDA numbers of federal projects related to their assigned colleges.
The person in charge of the A-133 project listing is responsible for the CFDA numbers for all federal projects.
The Director Sponsored Programs is responsible for the performance of the procedure.
Time:
The annual review of the CFDA number must be completed before the first draft of the A-133 project listing spreadsheet is provided to the A-133 auditor. Since the first draft contains usually the March financial information, the annual review of the CFDA numbers must be completed before the March A-133 project listing spreadsheet is prepared.
