How to calculate it
Divide reports submitted on time and accepted by total reports due, and multiply by 100.
For example, if 27 of 30 reports due were submitted on time and accepted, the rate is 90%.
Keep a calendar of reporting deadlines for every grant, assign an owner to each, and record any funder feedback.
