M-Reports

M-Reports is a web-based report environment that provides faculty and research administrators with official and projected project/grant balances, as well as links to underlying transaction details. With M-Reports and its RTF-estimated data, it is easy to identify high-level project balances, compare expected budget, revenue and/or expenditures to actual activity; and minimize the risk of over or under spending project funds due to the timeliness of the data and the ability to add UDC’s. PI’s, with the support of research administrators, are ultimately responsible for monitoring all financial aspects of their sponsored projects and M-Reports offers:

• Summary information for sponsored and UM-funded projects by Principal Investigator, Project Administrator, or P/G Department

• Budget, revenue, expenditure, payroll/financial aid estimates and Unit-Defined Commitments (encumbrances)

• Alerts, metrics and personalized reports based on user profile, user preferences and role-based security

• Report data sourced from multiple databases (e.g. M-Pathways production, Data Warehouse, unit systems)
