Annual Reporting
Global Fund Financial Management Guidelines (under Financial Reporting) and the Global Fund Operational Policy Manual (Operational Policy Note: Oversee Implementation and Monitor performance) specify the principles for Global Fund financial reporting.
The Global Fund does not require reporting of activity-level details. At the time of reporting, based on expenditure entry and classifications, implementers should be able to consolidate and report expenditure as per the Global Fund’s classifications for module/interventions and cost grouping/cost inputs by implementers.
In order to align the grant start dates with the selected annual reporting cycle, the first and last reporting periods of the grant could be longer or shorter than 12 months. The first period of the grant can be as short as six months or as long as 18 months. The Global Fund, at its discretion, may allow Principal Recipients (PRs) to combine the first and second period annual reports when the first period in shorter than 6 months.
The report covers in-country expenditures and variance analysis against the approved activity plan and funding for PRs and Sub-recipients (SRs). The figures in the annual financial reporting must be fully aligned and reconciled to the PR’s financial statements.
The financial information reported should include the approved budgets, expenditures and variance analysis by (a) modules and interventions; (b) cost grouping and cost inputs; and (c) implementers (PRs and SRs). The total budget and expenditure amounts across all three breakdowns should be the same.
The reporting by implementing entity should include both the name and the type of implementing entity. This reporting should be done on the PR and SR levels (it is not necessary to report on the Sub-sub-recipient (SSR) level).
Financial information should be reported for the current grant cycle year and cumulatively from the beginning of the implementation period. Reporting should cover the entire grant implementation period budget and expenditure information.
The annual financial reporting will be used to explain all variances from the most recent approved budget for each module/intervention and cost grouping/cost input. Detailed variance analysis for expenditures is required for variances that are +/-5 percent (below 95 percent and above 105 percent) of the official approved budget for the specific intervention, or the agreed granularity of reporting using the modular approach costing dimension under the differentiated reporting requirement.
All adjustments to PR and SR expenditures in annual financial reports that have already been reported and approved (prior period annual financial reporting) should be made in the current reporting period and explained in the variance analysis of the most current reporting cycle.
