Why will the Budget Office no longer review expense reports before reimbursements are made?

The Budget Office served an important role in reviewing expense reports before reimbursements were made in order to help ensure compliance with University policies and procedures. However, the primary responsibility for reviewing travel and entertainment expenses has been and will continue to be that of the department heads/approvers of the expense reports. With the implementation of the new travel and entertainment process, department heads will still be accountable for the review of expense reports and any compliance issues. The Budget Office will randomly audit expense reports following reimbursement, and consequences will be applied for compliance issues that were not addressed and resolved within the departments. The purpose of this change is to help reduce the steps in the process of coordinating reimbursements to faculty and staff for travel and entertainment expenses.
