Subject: New GAO Universal Closeout Workbook
Beginning May 1, 2015, Grant Accounting will be utilizing a new procedure during the closeout of externally sponsored awards. The new procedure includes the use of a standard Microsoft Excel workbook, called the Universal Closeout Workbook. Grant Accounting will identify issues or questions that must be resolved in order to proceed with the closeout of an award within this Universal Closeout Workbook and email it to the Department. Departments will provide their answers and input within the Universal Closeout Workbook and email it back to Grant Accounting. In the end, the workbook will be the culmination of the final review and the final cumulative expenditures necessary for closeout and submission of final invoices and/or final financial reports.
The policy/procedure for the Universal Closeout Workbook can be found here: http://gao.fo.uiowa.edu/universal-closeout-workbook
