A required submission of audited auxiliary financial data.

SFSR review consists of comparing data submitted to FIRMS to the data entered into TM1, by auxiliary.
SFSR will provide written confirmation that either the data submitted was accepted or that exceptions have been noted and need to be corrected through a re-submission.

To facilitate SFSR’s review procedures, new section added to the IPEDS template, the “Ending Net Position” section.
Section displays auxiliaries’ post-close net positions (i.e. net positions after closure of revenue/expense accounts)
Ending net position values are identified with new Record Type, 40 - Auxiliary Equity Ending Balances

New section is a memo entry only and will not effect the self-balancing nature of the schedule.
Accuracy of the entire submission, including the ending net positions, is tested through the addition of the “Proof Line”.
The formula at cell O194 sums the current year’s increase/decrease in net assets and the beginning and ending net position values.
Make sure the value in O194 is zero before submission!
