Accounting

Phone: 309/298-1811
Fax: 309/298-2811

Accounting is responsible for performing fiscal control in connection with appropriated (accounts that start with a "1" or "2") , locally-held (accounts that start with a "3"), revenue bond (accounts that start with a "4"), and grant accounts (accounts that start with a "5") (with the exception of personal services). This responsibility includes reviewing transactions for adherence to fiscal requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, and established University fiscal policies. This section also monitors indirect cost allocations, and is responsible for preparing detailed financial reports including monthly statements, cash reports, and reimbursements in accordance with agency or grantor provisions.

Central to the efficient fiscal operation of the University and its various units are the financial reports distributed on a periodic basis. Fiscal agents responsible for University accounts should become familiar with these reports. They furnish invaluable information that can help keep a department fiscally sound and operating within its resources. Included in this section is information to assist in interpreting these reports.

Cash Management

Cash Management is responsible for reconciliation and distribution of all funds received in Billing and Receivables, investment of all locally-held funds (including the income fund), management of and reporting on the University's portfolio, and distribution of interest income.

Moving Expenses Guidelines

New full-time tenured/tenure track faculty and selected administrative and civil service employees recruited outside the commuting area may be reimbursed for moving/relocation expenses within the following guidelines:

  1. The maximum allowable reimbursement shall be actual expenditures to a maximum of $3,000.
  2. Receipts must be submitted for expenses incurred, including moving companies, rentals, gasoline for rentals, and lodging.
  3. There is no reimbursement for meals incurred. Per diem reimbursement is not allowed.
  4. Gasoline receipts for one, one-way trip may be submitted for one personal vehicle. Alternatively, mileage for relocation travel will be calculated at the Internal Revenue Service standard mileage rate, one way, as determined by concentric circles from the previous location.
  5. Reimbursement for house hunting expenses is not allowed.
  6. If two or more individuals occupying the same household are appointed to eligible positions, the moving expense reimbursement shall not exceed the amount payable to one individual.
    1. A written request for anticipated reimbursement must be submitted to the respective vice president for approval. Within one month after employment begins, a Direct Pay Authorization (DPA) should be submitted to the Department and forwarded to the respective vice president for processing.
    2. It shall be the responsibility of the President and vice presidents to fund the moving expenses necessitated by this policy.
    3. The appropriate vice president may fund additional costs from his/her resources.
    4. In the Provost's immediate reporting areas, the hiring Dean may fund additional costs, as appropriate, from College resources.
    5. Separate DPA's charged to different accounts may not be submitted for payment in excess of the maximum allowed or for expenses not approved by the appropriate vice president.
  7. Moving expense reimbursements are taxable and subject to withholding.

Moving and relocation expenses are subject to the adequacy of legislative appropriations. For each fiscal year, the University may establish new reimbursement maximums. Any modifications will reflect anticipated funds available in the internal operating budget for this purpose.

The report does not print zeros, so any line that is blank has a zero dollar amount.
