Post-Audit Notification (PAN) ASAP to PAN – What’s it all about? UCLA Corporate Financial Services with UCLA Audit & Advisory Services
Where we are: ASAP (Application System Authorization Process): the current notification of administrative system transactions DACSS (Distributed Administrative Computing Security System): the system whereby departments/units [Department Security Administrators (DSAs)] are able to set up and maintain their system access security tables under the direction of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
What’s changing? ASAP is being replaced by web-based PAN (Post-Audit Notification) which was developed at UCOP for system-wide use in conjunction with the Personnel/Payroll System (PPP) UCLA has expanded the PAN system to interface with the other central administrative applications (BruinBuy/PAC, TOF, DDF, Express, Open Provision)
So what’s new? PAN Enhancement Highlights Reviewers will receive up to two s a day if PANs have been generated for their review. Mid-morning and Mid-afternoon The will contain a link to a secured website. Reviewers will input their OASIS, BOL, or QDB login ID and password. Reviewers may also log in to the website at any time during the day to review transactions – no need to wait for the notifying .
What does this mean for Reviewers? Principles of Data Integrity Principles of Regulatory Compliance Principles of Financial Accountability Principles of Financial Management UCLA Financial Policy November 30,
A Reviewer must review all transactions within two working days of receipt; inspect each transaction to ensure the Preparer properly fulfilled his or her responsibilities; ensure that each transaction complies with policy, regulatory, and other requirements;
A Reviewer must resolve all questions that arise concerning a transaction, or ensure the transaction is reversed until the questions are resolved;
A Reviewer must if he or she will be absent from work for two or more business days, 1) notify the DSA so another Reviewer can be assigned (if needed to ensure that there is no interruption in control); and 2) ensure that alternate responsibility for reviewing transactions has been effectively communicated and documented. (This can most easily be done by notifications to the CAO and DSA. Otherwise, Reviewers will be held accountable for transactions processed during absences.)
Reminders All staff MUST receive training before being granted access to online systems. CAOs are responsible for ensuring that all preparers and reviewers are “qualified” and have received proper training. UCLA policy prohibits the sharing of passwords.
What’s coming later? DACSS will be modified later this fiscal year to allow Reviewers to be designated as mandatory or non-mandatory. Mandatory Reviewers must review all transactions within two working days of receipt. Non-mandatory Reviewers will not be required to review transactions within the two working day period.
What’s coming later? All current Reviewers will become Mandatory Reviewers in the DACSS tables when DACSS is modified. CAOs must determine which Reviewers should be designated as non-mandatory and direct their DSAs to update the DACSS tables accordingly.
Points to Ponder Everyone involved with a transaction has a responsibility to see that it is accurately and correctly reflected in University records and appropriate to the University and fund source in keeping with applicable prevailing regulations and policies and procedures.

Caution As a Reviewer, you must view a notification through your Inbox in order for the system to register the transaction as “read.” If a Reviewer opens an item in either the Notification Selection or the Audit Review features, the system will not record that the reviewer has opened the PAN.
Be Aware: Comments added to a PAN become part of the permanent PAN record. The system records to whom a PAN is forwarded and by whom.
Other Considerations: Web PAN will automatically time you out, if you do not actively use the system for 30 minutes. For security reasons, logging out requires the user to close the application and the browser. You will need to initiate a new session.
