OneGMS Pro Tips - April 2024

POSTED BY Khai Ahmed Salma | 04 Apr 2024 |

Ahead of the impending review by the Board of Auditors (BoA), granting them access to the OCHA Assurances (OA) dashboard across all funds, we strongly advise reviewing your OA board to ensure compliance with the new Global Guidelines (GG) requirements.

The OA now retrieves manually entered information from the Timelines Tabs for each project's reporting and monitoring instances. Thus, we want to underscore the importance of timelines in displaying due instances. Please ensure thorough attention to this aspect before reaching the under GA preparation stage.

Pro tip from the OneGMS Support team: Verify that your timelines tabs for projects approved from January 1st, 2023, onwards align with the GG requirements. 

The implementation of the GG has prompted adjustments in the due dates for certain project closure processes. Here's a quick rundown of the changes between the previous and new due dates in the closure process:

For example, this adjustment means that a FNR from a 2023 project whose timelines have not been updated according to the new GG will show as due based on the information entered by the HFU, i.e., 2 months after the project end date instead of 3 months after the project end date!
