ECC Training Timeline

Effort Web Content has moved to PAFC

Effective 1/1/2023, the effort reporting compliance team within Sponsored Programs Finance moved from Management Accounting and Analysis (MAA) to Post Award Fiscal Compliance (PAFC). This encompasses a change in where web content for effort reporting is housed. Moving forward, it will be on PAFC's website (https://finance.uw.edu/pafc/) under the Effort Reporting menu tab. Continual updates will be made throughout the rest of the calendar year (2023) to rebuild web content to reflect new systems and processes.

Overview

Many effort reporting users across campus, including those at Harborview Medical Center (UWM) and Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), have been patiently waiting to learn more about the new effort reporting system, Employee Compensation Compliance (ECC). Good news! The wait is almost over. Training dates have been finalized.
