6. Approve and Save your Statement of Account
About the approval process
Your online approval indicates acceptance of the information in the Statement of Account (SoA) and indicates that, to the best of your knowledge, all expenditures incurred are acceptable as per the Tri-Council Use of Grants guidelines and as per your program’s policies. Researchers are
responsible for viewing and approving their own Statements of Account.
When you save your online approval of an SoA, the record is immediately available for the U of M Grant Accountant to approve, and when the Grant Accountant approves the SoA, the record is immediately submitted as complete to the Agency.
Your online approval is equivalent to your signing the form and forwarding it to your Research Accountant.
Select approved then
save.
Approval date shows
up once approved by
the researcher
If changes need to be made you can simply click on the approved box again to remove approval and save the new status. Your grant accountant will notify you when the statement is available to be “unapproved” and can assist you with the process.
