Principal Investigators are responsible for monitoring their budgets and expenditures in the online Financial Reporting Suite (formerly known as the Project Reporting Database) or through AC Data. You will use your Amherst College username and password to log into the database. Please refer to the Controller's webpage for instructions.
The Controller’s Office sends out an email on a monthly basis when the expenses for the indicated month have all posted. It is recommended that you check to make sure all expenses have posted correctly once you receive the monthly notification. If an expense has posted incorrectly, please send a request to fix the expense to the Controller’s Office using the Charge/Credit Form.
Principal Investigators are always given access to see their grants in the Project Reporting Database. If you would like to give your department coordinator access to see your grant in the database please email the Senior Research Administrator.
Questions
Please contact the IT Help Desk if you have technical difficulties with the database. If you have any questions regarding expenses that have posted to your grant please contact the Senior Research Administrator.
