Grant Status Additional Information - In some cases there may be additional information regarding the status of a grant.

Definitions of the data that can appear here are given below:

The review date has been reached and further payments are currently being withheld. The review is either in accordance with NAO guidelines or in response to an ad-hoc progress review of the grant. |

All Actions Complete |
All actions on the grant are now complete. The grant will cease to be displayed on the interface 186 days (6 months) after the last action is recorded as being complete. |
Actions Due - This refers to RO actions that have been issued and have not yet been received. If no actions are due 'none' will be displayed. The interface shows the name of the item that is due (e.g. Final Expenditure Statement) and the date when it is due by. Once the item is received and recorded in the relevant back office system it will no longer be shown as an action.
Differences - This refers to the history of changes that have been made to that data displayed for a particular grant. This provides the date the change was made, the item changed, the previous value and new value.
Deliverables - This is the term used by the Councils for the items that require action during the lifetime of a grant (e.g. Final Expenditure Statement, Starting Certificate etc.). Details of all the deliverables attached to a grant can be seen by clicking on the actions for that grant. This will then provide the deliverable name, issue, due and received date for each deliverable.
