<br /> <br />Preparedness Grants Manual | February 2021 26 <br />Post-Award Management and Implementation <br />Reporting <br />Recipients are required to submit various financial and programmatic reports as a condition of award <br />acceptance. Future awards and funds drawdown may be withheld if these reports are delinquent. <br /> <br />Consultants or contractors are not permitted to be the AOR of the recipient. The AOR, as the <br />Authorized Official for the award, is responsible for submitting programmatic and financial performance <br />reports, accepting award packages, signing assurances and certifications, and submitting award <br />amendments. <br /> <br />Federal Financial Reporting Requirements <br />Federal Financial Report (FFR) <br />Recipients must report obligations and expenditures to FEMA on a quarterly basis through the FFR form <br />(SF-425). Recipients may review the FFR Form (SF-425) at <br />https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/forms/post-award-reporting-forms.html#sortby=1. Recipients must <br />file the FFR electronically using the Payment and Reporting Systems (PARS). <br /> <br />Financial Reporting Periods and Due Dates <br />An FFR must be submitted quarterly throughout the period of performance (POP), including partial <br />calendar quarters, as well as in periods where no grant award activity occurs. The final FFR is due within <br />90 days after the end of the POP. Future awards and fund drawdowns may be withheld if these reports are <br />delinquent, demonstrate a lack of progress, or are insufficient in detail. <br /> <br />Except for the final FFR due at closeout <br />(and the last quarterly FFR) the <br />following reporting periods and due <br />dates apply for the FFR Reporting Period <br />Report Due Date <br />October 1 – December 31 January 30 <br />January 1 – March 31 April 30 <br />April 1 – June 30 July 30 <br />July 1 – September 30 October 30 <br /> <br />Because of a system limitation, if at the end of the POP a recipient still has funds to draw down, PARS <br />requires an FFR be submitted within 30 days of the end of the POP in order to access those funds. In that <br />case, the recipient will need to submit an FFR within 30 days of the end of the POP in addition to the final <br />FFR within 120 days of the end of the POP. All other recipients who do not need to draw down funds <br />after the end of the POP are only required to submit the final FFR within 120 days after the end of the <br />POP.
