Purpose

The purpose of this operating procedure is to establish procedures for the College of Public Health Business Office and Research Center Administrators regarding check and cash transmittals in accordance with BPM E-2-1.

Policy

Requestor Responsibility:

The Requestor is responsible for receiving cash and cash equivalent on behalf of the University for gifts, goods or services. The department is responsible for providing receipts for cash received.

When cash or checks are received, the Requestor or other designee will:

  1. Deliver all cash and checks received to the CPH Business Office no later than 2:00 in the afternoon. NOTE: if cash/checks are received after this time, the department is responsible for securing them in a secure location until the next business day when they can deliver it to the business office.
  2. Provide the account name/number for the funds to be deposited into.
  3. Provide business purpose of funds.
  4. Provide any other documentation provided with the deposit (ie. Gift notification, invoice, etc).

 

CPH Business Office or Research Center Administrator Responsibility:

The CPH Business Office or Research Center Administrator is responsible for creating and submitting the deposit to the Treasury Office. Once cash/checks are received in the CPH Business Office, the appropriate Financial Analyst will prepare the deposit. All cash/checks received in the CPH Business Office will be deposited that business day. All cash/checks must be deposited by the end of the business week.

  1. Do not Endorse checks immediately upon receipt but only after the check has been scanned into the App as the program adds an endorsement to the checks image:
    • When the endorsement is added it may be applied by a stamp or written on each check. Stamp is located in the safe.
  2. Enter check information into Department control log on SharePoint, assigning it a transmittal number established by the excel sheet.

 

For Treasury Deposits:

  1. Prepare check transmittal in myUK using control log number, GL, and cost center provided by department.
