Final FFR Released

The Office of Management and Budget has published the final federal financial report consolidating and replacing four existing financial reporting forms (SF-269, SF-269A, SF-272, and SF-272A) with a single Federal Financial Report (FFR). The purpose of the FFR is to give recipients of grants and cooperative agreements a standard format for reporting the financial status of their grants and cooperative agreements (hereby referred to collectively as awards). Federal awarding agencies developed the FFR as part of their implementation of the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106-107). Copies of the proposed collection may be obtained by going to OMB's main Web page at http://www.OMB.gov and clicking on the ``Grants Management,'' then ``Forms'' then Proposed Government-Wide Standard Grants Reporting Forms links. Comments are recommended by Setember 12.
