Overview: Timeline for Review & Certification of Expenditures
 
Monthly Review & Reconciliation / Timeline for Sponsored Projects / Calendar

The purpose of the Monthly Expenditure Review is to identify and correct mistakes in a timely manner. To accomplish this, expenditures need to be reviewed promptly after the end of each month. Stanford defines a timely monthly review as one that is completed within two months of the last day of the month being reviewed.

After each academic quarter, Principal Investigators will certify that quarter's expenditures for allocability to the project which is providing the funds or for which Stanford is cost-sharing. This certification also needs to be completed in a timely manner, defined as within two months of the end of the academic quarter being certified.

To be considered timely, any transfers of expenses for an academic quarter must be initiated within the same time limits as for the PI's certification.
