- Do you have questions about how financial transactions are received and processed? General information about the structure and use of the accounting system may be reviewed at the Financial Services homepage at

- Financial transactions enter the University's general ledger financial system in several ways that you should understand.
-
Many campus sub-systems electronically transmit their entries
electronically. The status of submitted entries can be monitored through
the Financial Services homepage. Questions can be directed to Terri Heaps at 422-7167.
- Many campus departments provide entries on spreadsheet template files. When this is done, supporting detail is to be reviewed and retained by the campus controller submitting the entry. The template can be obtained from Steve Rose at 422-6104.
- Some areas provide memos of requested actions to University Financial Services accountants who assist in preparing entries. Supporting information should be provided by the requestor with the request.
- University Financial Services accountants prepare other entries to correct errors or process data managed centrally.
All entries are validated against various processing rules prior to actually being posted to the general ledger. Errors are corrected by University Financial Services accountants, often with the help of campus controllers.
