--Before the Conversion to the Banner System, there was a procedure in place for the verification of the Fund Monthly Detail Certifications. After the conversion, the software was not available for departments to verify their monthly detail reports. Since July 1st of 2008, there has been a procedure in place for every department to review, verify, and return their Fund Monthly Detail Certifications. These reports are very important to our Auditing process and are mandatory.
Each month, you will be notified that the Brioserve reports are available to print and review. Do not run the reports until you receive this notification. Once you have verified the accuracy of your reports, or made the necessary corrections, please sign on the last page and return to me, Margaret "Deanie" Vigil in the Business Office in Rm # 106, located on the upper level of Wells Hall. If you are having difficulty pulling these reports, please contact me as soon as possible to clarify this problem and expedite the submission of these reports.
You may review these reports online and print the last page for your signature, or you may print the entire report and retain the report for your records and submit the last page only, to me. Which ever is most convenient for your dept.
We now have an up-to-date list of all of the Funds and their PI's. Reminders will be sent to each department. If you are not sure of the Funds that you are in charge of, please contact Deanie (Margaret) Vigil in the Business Office at 835-5315. (7/28)
