To minimize the need to recertify an FEC the original FEC should be carefully reviewed before it is confirmed by the faculty. If the salary distribution presented on the FEC does not reasonably reflect actual effort, changes may be made in MyFD and the eFECS Cost Share Module up to the time the FEC is certified (signed) by the faculty member. The department makes the appropriate changes, waits overnight for the change to post and then is able to download an updated FEC reflecting the change.

 

If salary or cost share changes occur after the original certification and submission, the FEC will need to be manually corrected and recertified by the faculty member. An FEC generated from the eFECS system showing the change will not be accepted once the original FEC has been signed.

 

The department uses the departmental copy of the originally certified FEC, writes “Revised” at the top of the printed form, makes the required change(s) and attaches documentation supporting the revision. The faculty member then either initials and dates the change or re-signs and re-dates the form in ink and returns it to the FEC Coordinator for submission to MAA.
