Hints & Tips
As well as containing a breakdown of budgets and key standing data such as Principal Investigators, start and end dates, sponsor information etc, the report provides information to support coding accuracy: Details of how the Price Adjustment will be applied to FEC awards. On Research Council awards, for example, this is typically 20% but exceptions apply (e.g. equipment, bursaries, surveys) so the report shows which expenditure types will have the exceptional price adjustment applied.
