Key Concepts for Reporting
Key Concept: Expenditure Category
An Expenditure Category (EC) is a coding system to track how funding is used
and will also be used to identify where additional programmatic data is
required.
Appendix C of the User Guide includes a list of 66 Expenditure Categories.

Key Concepts: Projects
Projects:
• Closely related activities toward a common purpose/goal
• New or existing services or investments
• Funded in whole or in part by FRF funding
• Each project must align to one Expenditure Category. Projects
break down an Expenditure Category into more detail.
• Recipients have flexibility to define their projects – but must
provide a sufficient level of detail to be able to report on specific
activities for each project, including any required program
reporting.
