Here are a few things you need to put in place:
- An accounting system that separates cost types (direct, indirect and unallowable) and grants from other projects
- Financial policies and procedures – internal controls (travel, employee policies)
- Timekeeping system – completed by employees and approved by supervisor
- File reports required – FFR reports file quarterly/Interim Progress report/ Final Technical report/Invention Disclosure
- Other requirements like supporting documentation: actual vs budget tracking, agreements, etc.
You don’t know what you don’t know. And what you don’t know could hurt your company.
