Are your EU grant records up-to-date? Image We are still, at the time of writing, unsure about whether the UK will leave the EU with a withdrawal agreement in place. In the event of a no-deal scenario, we think it is likely that we will have to prepare reconciliations for the EU and UKRI at the date of exit. This will be a major exercise but one that will be essential to secure funding. We would therefore like to remind everyone that is good practice to keep your EU grant information up-to-date. You should ensure that : you have reviewed the balances on your research grant and raised any concerns with your Research Grants Administrator or emailed the Finance.Helpline@ed.ac.uk your timesheets are completed. A lot of time is spent trying to gather this information and it is a big help if you can do this staffing journal changes are up-to-date and charged to the grant any EU grant currency concerns have been raised with the Finance.Helpline@ed.ac.uk and Laura.Petrie@ed.ac.uk you are up-to-date with your transaction processes and purchasing other project milestones are up-to-date.
