Journal Entry Transfers FAQs
Transfers that are frequent, tardy or inadequately explained particularly on cost over-runs or unexpended balances, raise questions about the
propriety of the transfers and reliability of the accounting system and internal controls. They are red flags to auditors. For the validity of the
University's financials, all costs need to be properly captured.
Make sure you have the correct fopal on pcards, requisitons, direct pays, etc. from the start.
Monitor costs regularly.
