Time with Office of Sponsored Programs April 6, 2010 Topics: Business Policy 213 and OSP Updates
BPM-213: Adjustment of Income and Expense Items Correction Policy • Any correction of income and/or expense items between ChartFields should be made within two accounting periods (two months) after the end of the accounting period in which the original transaction posted. • Applies to all income and both salary/wage and non-salary/wage expense transactions. • Policy is organized into three different procedures that may be necessary to correct transactions; 1) salary and wage for sponsored programs activities (including cost share), 2) salary and wage for non-sponsored programs activities, and 3) income and non-salary expense items.
BPM 213 Correcting Salary and Wage for Sponsored Programs • Payroll Correcting Entry-PCE • Costs must be allowable, directly benefit the project and represent more accurate allocation than currently recorded. • Document explanation of error and need for correction. • Signed by employee, PI and Chair to request correction. • If more than 60 days have elapsed between transaction and correction, Office of Academic Affairs will sign and then OSP will review, approve /disapprove and make correction if appropriate. • If change in allocation is more than 5%, EVR must be changed , re-verified and submitted to OSP.
