Please Note: Upon review of this request additional information may be required, including Project Director verification of employee effort. Recreates of previously certified and approved effort reports are indications of poor internal controls and are heavily scrutinized by the Office of Research Administration and auditors. Changes to certified effort reports generate late cost transfers (cost transfers occurring 90 days after initial charge) and therefore require detailed justification for audit purposes. Disallowances due to discrepancies on the effort reports are the responsibility of the department and will be paid from the appropriate departmental general fund account. Questions may be directed to Tim Burris, Office of Research Administration ACE Team (Audit, Compliance, Effort) at 812.855.0185 or via email to: thburris@indiana.edu.
