Monthly Review Guidance
  Monthly Review & Reconciliation / Monthly Review Guidance

In addition to monthly reconciliation, the Expenditure Detail Reports must be reviewed each month, as noted in Guide Memo 36. The review should include compliance areas such as those covered in the detailed steps below. For sponsored, the review is evidenced by a signature in the review/certification language on the last page of the Expenditure Detail Report. In addition, for sponsored projects the review must be completed within two months of the end of the month of the report (e.g., October expenditures must be reviewed no later than December 31), see the timeliness calendar for deadlines for each quarter.

Below are a list of steps and reference materials to help guide you through the expenditure review process. These steps can be used for all types of PTAs.

Please use the drop down lists below to choose guidance for Sponsored or Non-Sponsored PTAs. You may select the option “show all’ which will provide you with all steps for either the Sponsored or Non-Sponsored Review Process.

Before you review your expenditure reports gather and review the following information:
  1. Budget Information: The actual grant or contract award notice, or other information noting any specific requirements or restrictions for this award. For non-sponsored projects this may include Hyperion budget information or the Fund Authorization document, which would provide any restrictions for gift funds.
  2. Prior month(s) expenditure statements with any notations for corrections, etc.
  3. Additional reports you may need, such as Kronos leave reports or Payroll Earnings Distribution Report.
  4. The Issues Matrix to let you know what errors have already been identified, when system errors and corrections will be made and by whom.
  5. The Reference Code Table with most commonly used source codes and contact information.
