Congratulations on another perfect Certification Period! For the 23rd time since the inception of our ecrt/ECC application at Pitt, we have achieved 100% certification compliance for the Sept-Dec 2024 period of performance! This period, a total of 7,935 effort statements were certified. Many thanks to YOU for all your efforts to ensure these certifications were completed by PIs in your area.
If employees in your area no longer require their SPAR/ECC access, please remember to submit termination forms to SPARhelp. The SPAR and ECC systems provide users with access to sensitive information and as such, access should only be available to those employees with a bona fide business need.
As we near another fiscal year end, please bear in mind that salary budget overruns in entity 02, 03 or 04 accounts are not to be resolved by SPAR modifications if the salaries charged to those accounts truly supported those activities. Instead, budget overruns should be resolved by a journal entry to transfer funding between accounts using subcode 8260.
