Reminder from Tampa regarding reconciliation:

This is just a reminder of the importance of reconciling your departmental and auxiliary funds on a regular basis. Good internal controls and sound business practices necessitate reconciliation of funds by business staff. Regular reconciliations provide assurance that all USF assets are safeguarded and managed effectively. The university recommends a monthly reconciliation and review of the official financial reports.

Department business staff should be reconciling the data in Finance Mart with departmental records, including POs, requisitions, expenses, revenue, and cash. Expense includes both salary and operating expenses. If you are using the FAST billing module, you should also reconcile your accounts receivable monthly. If you have any questions about what or how to reconcile, you can consult the training materials found on our training web site: www.usf.edu/ucotraining

You may also find value in attending the reconciliation workshop offered by the UCO. Register for this workshop and other programs on GEMS self service (access self service through the USF Portal).
