FAQ's

• Who do I call if I have an accounting question?

  If you have a question about a Fund/ORG transaction in Banner or a particular report, please contact your Assigned Accountant.

  If your college or department fund manager/responsible person needs to be updated, please send a signed memo to General Accounting giving the Fund/ORG number and the name of the current fund manager or responsible person. Your request will be directed to the appropriate accountant and they will make the necessary changes.

• Can employees or students purchase surplus equipment from departments?

  No. State fiscal rules and Colorado legislation prohibit employees or students from purchasing surplus state equipment. The perception by a taxpayer that tax dollars are used to purchase equipment, then sold at reduced prices to employees or students has been a concern of legislators. University policies also restrict departments from selling surplus items to employees or students.

• How can a department dispose of surplus equipment?

  Visit the Property Control web page for the paperwork so that property records can be adjusted. Then contact Facilities & Management staff (Parsons Hall) for pick-up of the item(s). Please note that if equipment was purchased with grant funds, you will need to contact OSP at 351-1907 concerning disposal.

• How long do we need to keep documents?

  Please review the Record Retention web page and if you have any questions, please contact the Controller at 351-1604.
