Managing grants

Reporting

What you do on the reporting tab of a grant you've been awarded.

Reporting (justificación) – the final account of how the grant was spent – is a tab on every grant, and it's for what comes afterwards: once it's been awarded and you have to show what the money went on and what was done with it. It holds the two halves of the final report, and they go together because they're handed in together.

The financial half: the invoices

Each invoice is entered with supplier, CIF (tax ID), description, heading in the approved budget, amount, invoice date and payment date. The total entered is shown against the amount awarded, so you know how much you've reported on without doing the sums by hand.

The payment date isn't there to fill space. Almost all rules require the cost to be paid within the period, not just invoiced: a December invoice paid in February gets queried. Until you enter it, the row shows as unpaid.

The narrative half: the activities

What actually happened, activity by activity: its name and its description, the planned beneficiaries and the actual ones, the indicator and what proves it – signature sheets, photos, surveys – and a done tick box.

Both beneficiary figures and not just the second, because the gap between planned and actual is exactly what the final report asks about. And per activity, not across the grant as a whole: that percentage would mean nothing.

The deadline

The reporting deadline is set on the Application tab, and it's the one that costs most money to forget: reporting late means paying the whole grant back with interest. When fourteen days or fewer are left, the record warns you at the top, and the deadline also shows in Tasks.
