Research Grant Administration: Post-award Resources for Faculty: Review and reconciliation

Review and approval of each expense in the fund is a mandatory duty of the Researcher. The approval is the upfront review work to ensure that only research eligible items are being charged against the fund. You should perform additional reviews on a regular basis so as to stay apprised of the fund balance and to ensure no expense falls through the cracks. You can do this using the steps shown under the UniFi tab. The below image shows an example of a wrong expense charged against the fund. If you discover items like this, contact the Financial Analyst to have a correction made as necessary.

Note: Real incorrect charges will be much more subtle than the below.
