The Certification/Submit page contains an area to record additional comments to be included with the transaction data and the tools to approve and submit the FFR. You can also view and print draft or final versions of the FFR prior to submitting the report to CNCS. This page is divided into three sections, described below:
Here you will certify that the report is true, complete, and accurate to the best of your knowledge. By clicking I Agree, eGrants will record your name as the person certifying the report and the date on which the certification was completed. The FFR must be certified before it can be submitted. Only persons authorized by your organization to submit financial data should certify the FFR.
Any additional comments or explanations regarding the data entered on the transaction screen should be entered in the Remarks section of the form.
View/Print FFR – Click on this link to view and/or print the FFR in pdf format. If you view the FFR before submitting it to CNCS the word DRAFT appears at the top of the report as an indication that the data entered on the report is not yet final. Once the report is submitted to CNCS, the word DRAFT no longer appears on the print version of the report.
Submit Financial Report – Click on this link to officially submit the FFR to CNCS. The name of the person submitting the report and the date on which it is submitted will be recorded in the system. Once the report is submitted, you will only be able to review the report in pdf and will not be able to edit any of the information recorded on the report. If additional edits are required, you will need to contact your assigned Grants Officer and ask them to return the report to you.
