A business purpose is required to be documented for all transactions. All transactions are required to have a business purpose and meet the following requirements:
Personnel and Financial Services staff is the resource for all UF-related purchasing and payable processes which includes Procurement Services, pcard processes, and Finance and Accounting directives.
Directors are accountable/responsible for their units’ financial stability which include monthly reconciliation (they may assign this functional task to someone in their area, but they MUST sign off the work is done). Each unit is provided a list of ‘accounts’ for which they are accountable. UFIT provides monthly financial reports; reports are run, reviewed for accuracy and reconciled with the subsystems (HR, Procurement, Accounts Payable, etc). The directors should spot-check in the systems to ensure the work is complete. This is also an opportunity to look into future needs and evaluate requests. All expenses must be requested and pre-approved by the manager/director and document uploaded as backup in the relevant expense.
Please reach out to Jennifer Douglas or Barbara Bennett for more guidance.
