The Teaching and Technology Support Services staff is the resource for all UF-related purchasing and payable processes, including Procurement Services, Pcard processes, and Finance and Accounting directives.

Teaching and Technology Fiscal Responsibility

Directors are responsible and held accountable for the financial stability of their units, which includes monthly reconciliation.  They may assign this functional task to someone in their area, but they MUST sign off, confirming the work is done. Each unit is provided a list of ‘accounts’ for which they are accountable. All expenses must be requested and pre-approved by the manager/director and document uploaded as backup in the relevant expense.  Monthly financial reports are provided and must be reviewed for accuracy and reconciled with the subsystems (HR, Procurement, Accounts Payable, etc). The directors should spot-check the systems to ensure the work is complete. This is also an opportunity to look into future needs and evaluate requests.
