We have just switched over from providing monthly paper reports, to
requiring PI's to access their account on-line.  Overall, I think it is
going well, but it will be easier to tell how the change has impacted
campus after an extended period of time (the switch just happened in
October).  Many of our PI's only look at their account once or twice a year
(if that often), so it will be interesting to see how they react once they
realize that they are no longer receiving printed reports.

I am not aware of any regulations that require the issuance of printed
financial reports.

Hope this helps.
