TIPS
 Start reconciliation after email from Flint Accounting Office (Rick).
 Validate “Tick Off” the Activity
 TAKE CREDIT FOR YOUR WORK – write on the statements and
sign/date when completed. This can be done manually or electronically.
 Create a “Cheat Sheet”
 For Payroll, create a list all employees and expected monthly salary
amounts and update as needed (more often with Professors &
Adjuncts).
 For PCards, create a list of PCard holders.
 For Telephones, create a list of department phone numbers.
 Project Grant List, create a list of Project Grants that are associated to
your DeptID and Programs
 Valid Account List
 A list of all valid Revenue & Expense by Fund. This list provides the
account title, long description, account group.
 You can open the list (Excel) from the web from the Financial
Operations home page.
 www.umich.edu/~finops/
 Under “General Information” button, under “Valid Account Listing”.
Errors
 Payroll Errors
 For all Regular Facility/Staff have to be corrected through HR.
HR will create a correction journal. You have 120 days after a
yearend close to fix payroll errors (until Oct. 30th).
 For Temporary employees, all corrections are done on a journal
entry.
 Journal Entry, Cash Receipt, PO, PCard, SUB, NonPO
Errors should be corrected by a journal entry.
 Chartfield Errors
 All corrections need to be corrected by a journal entry if the
Fund, DeptID, Program, Class, Project-Grant, or Account is
wrong.
