Tips & FAQs

  • Less is more when describing the “Account Purpose.” Very briefly explain how the funds to be deposited in the new account will be spent. Some examples: “Will receive gifts donated for _____”; “Will receive income from conferences in dept X” (you do not need to provide conference title or theme); “Will receive funds to support program X of Humanities Institute.”
  • Accounts with an “All Expense” sub-account (51) cannot have additional expenditure sub-accounts unless they are 70 (scholarship) or 71 (tuition) sub-accounts.  For this reason, the Dean’s Office supports the use of a –57 (department expenses) sub-account rather than the –51.
