The RNSS web application certification is due annually by:

• Oct. 1, 20CY — for GR consolidated agencies
• Nov. 1, 20CY — for unaudited agencies
• Nov. 20, 20CY — for unaudited institutions of higher education
• Dec. 1, 20CY — for audited full reporting agencies (including institutions of higher education)

Submit a copy of the agency’s Note 14 from its published AFR. The required format is a Microsoft Word document (latest version: docx) with header information that includes: agency name/number and note number/name uploaded through the RNSS web application.

Ensure proper security access exists as early in the process as possible. Contact your agency’s security coordinator to request RNSS access for each agency number you are reporting.

Note: When requesting access from your security coordinator, ensure that you communicate the four-character Security Coordinator’s USAS Reference Code specific to this web application.

System Records

Individual records are saved to RNSS based on the unique combination of agency, fund type and GAAP fund numbers.

Disclosure Screens

The disclosure screens also include note disclosure sections for entry of descriptions for each type of restatement.
