SEFA Tutorial
Lesson 4: Overview of the SEFA Web Application
Timeline
The timeline/deadlines are available on the AFR Reporting Requirements’ SEFA – Timeline page. Agencies that have federal activity to report must enter and certify SEFA data and certify in the SEFA web application by the applicable deadlines.
Note: Agencies that do not report federal activity are not required to certify in the SEFA web application.
If a deadline is missed, contact your financial reporting analyst to certify on your agency’s behalf.
