The Controller’s Office includes the offices of Capital Accounting and Fund Accounting. They are the final approver of all Form 1s and determine whether a project is classified as capital or non-capital. They assign your project account (PTA) and transfer funds from the Form 1 source account to your project.
Capital Accounting is your resource for all capital projects. They are responsible for:
- Capital account oversight and controls
- Ensuring the appropriate use of funds
- Final approval of all requisitions and journals
- Answering questions about accounting policy
Fund Accounting is your resource for non-capital projects.
