<br />Preparedness Grants Manual <br />5. Post-Award Management and Implementation <br />5.1.Reporting <br />Recipients are required to submit various financial and programmatic reports as a condition of <br />award acceptance. Future awards and funds drawdown may be withheld if these reports are <br />delinquent. <br />Consultants or contractors are not permitted to be the AOR or the Signatory Authority (SA) of the <br />recipient. The AOR, as the Authorized Official for the award, is responsible for submitting <br />programmatic and financial performance reports, accepting award packages, signing assurances <br />and certifications, and submitting award amendments. <br />5.2.Federal Financial Reporting Requirements <br />5.2.1. FEDERAL FINANCIAL REPORT <br />Recipients must report obligations and expenditures to FEMA on a quarterly basis through the <br />Federal Financial Report (FFR) form, also known as Standard Form 425 (SF-425). Recipients may <br />review the FFR at Post-Award Reporting Forms page on Grants.gov. Recipients must file the FFR <br />electronically using FEMA GO. Note that recipients for awards covered in this manual made before FY <br />2024 must file the FFR using the Payment and Reporting Systems (PARS). <br />Financial Reporting Periods and Due Dates <br />An FFR must be submitted quarterly throughout the POP, including partial calendar quarters, as well <br />as in periods where no grant award activity occurs. The final FFR is due within 120 days after the end <br />of the POP. Future awards and fund drawdowns may be withheld if these reports are delinquent, <br />demonstrate a lack of progress, or are insufficient in detail. <br />Table 3 shows the reporting periods and due dates for the FFR, except for the final FFR due at 120 <br />days after the end of the POP for purposes of closeout. <br />Table 3: FFR Reporting Periods and Due Dates <br />FFR Reporting Period <br />Oct. 1–Dec. 31 <br />Report Due Date <br />Jan. 30 <br />Jan. 1–March 31 <br />April 1–June 30 <br />July 1–Sept. 30 <br />April 30 <br />July 30 <br />Oct. 30 <br />Because of a system limitation, if at the end of the POP for awards made prior to FY 2023 a recipient <br />still has funds to draw down, PARS requires an FFR be submitted within 30 days of the end of the <br />POP to access those funds. In that case, the recipient will need to submit an FFR within 30 days of <br />the end of the POP in addition to the final FFR within 120 days of the end of the POP. All other <br />31
