All departments have access to Cognos, as well as reports within the UFS Grants Module, enabling them to view the latest financial position on their grants. These reports can be run for an individual grant or a range of grants and can be used to check expenditure charged to a grant per expenditure category, commitments against a grant and funds available.
If your department has arranged for you to have access to Cognos and/or UFS, you will be able to do this yourself at any time. If not, please contact your School Team in the Research Operations Office for assistance.
Cognos reports
As a minimum Departments should ensure that they run and review the ‘Projects by Organisation by PI’ report as part of their month end procedures. Awards owned by a different department will be included on the relevant PI summary.
UFS reports
Individual ‘Award Status’ or ‘Project Status’ reports for award or project may also be run as required.
