Compliant Purchase Authorization on Grants
Certain fiscal responsibilities are entrusted to all employees of the University.
PIs agree to ensure acceptance of fiscal management responsibility of grants, via the certification statement on eIAFs that route prior to grant proposal submissions.
PIs may formally delegate purchasing authority for their grants to others, provided a formal delegation is on file (Required per University’s Administrative Regulation 8-3.)
Plans are underway to implement an electronic form and workflow approval process for this delegation. The result will be a database that can be used by the SRAS as part of the College’s grant reconciliation process to confirm purchases were made via an appropriately delegated purchasing authority.
