Grant Accounting

Mission Statement

By offering post award guidance for all sponsored projects and ensuring compliance with all federal and state rules and regulations, with university policies and procedures, and with funding agencies' requirements, Grant Accounting works to support the University in its mission of educational excellence. The financial management of externally sponsored programs falls under the purview of grant accounting, which includes establishing a fund number for new grants, preparing financial reports and invoices, processing cost transfers and budget adjustments, receipting of payments, monitoring expenditures, time/effort reporting, and grant closeout procedures. Grant accounting works with principal investigators and their fiscal officers to manage and monitor awards to ensure sound and appropriate financial management. Post-award consists of processes that occur between award inception and award closeout.  During this period, Grant Accounting, the Principal Investigator, and the departmental administrators must collaborate and continually monitor the award to ensure the grant finishes within budgetary limits and all required invoicing and financial reports are completed timely and accurately. If assistance is required with reviewing financial reports, reconciling costs to planned budgets, system or report accessibility, adjusting encumbrances, or tracing an error in posting, please contact Grant Accounting for assistance.
