 The Controller’s Office recommends that you review your grant in Banner before AND after June 30 th  Although time consuming, a review before year end can help us clean up your grant and avoid year end issues  Post year end review is also important to ensure that any changes needed were successfully completed and to make sure that nothing has hit your grant in error in the meantime  Use a checklist to ensure you’ve done it all 4

 For each of the Open PO’s on your grant:  If the good isn’t here yet, contact vendor to expedite  Is the PO still good? If it’s no longer going to be purchased, contact Purchasing & have them cancel the PO (liquidate blanket PO’s if not using them)  If you believe you have already received the item(s)/service on the PO, check with Accounts Payable (A/P) to see if they are missing any documentation  If you don’t recognize the Vendor Name and/or amount, look up the PO in FPIPURR for more information Mistakes can happen & you don’t want to foot the bill for someone else’s grant! 7

 Review the amounts in the Activity column and Available Balance  Do these amounts look about right? If something seems high or low, look at the detail in the Activity column (see Slide # 12) If expenses hit the wrong line (or you don’t think they’re yours), contact the Chief Accountant for Grants (Tracy or x2244)  For any negative Available Balances, budget modifications should be made Tracy and indicate which accounts you need to move budget dollars between & specify whether Funding Source approval is necessary for the change to be 13
