Receipts/Deposits

- Investment vehicle to utilize (IC or LT, all deposits to fund 162)

Dean signature required to authorize deposit into Trust Funds. In the event there are multiple donors, all checks under $100 will be aggregated into a single deposit labeled “multiple donors”. Each week, Trust Funds receipts are deposited in the State Treasury per Sec. 20.907(2) and 20.906 Stats.
Payments/Transfers
Trust Funds staff reviews all payments and transfers from Trust Funds accounts on a “post-audit” basis. The UW Processing Center completes a pre-audit review for compliance with University guidelines/State Statutes. The UW Processing Center issues a check and delivers it to the requested party. An electronic file of these payments is then loaded to the UW Trust Funds accounting system for review. Compliance with the terms and conditions of the account as well as funds availability is verified. In the event a payment is rejected, the charges are moved to another funding source for reconciliation and correction.
Note: For non-salary transfers, a copy of the original invoice and original voucher number should be provided. This allows for verification of compliance with account terms.
