What University policies relating to interfaces should I be
aware of?
If you are providing services internal to the organization
that qualify you as an Internal Service Organization (ISO)
you should read that policy carefully and discuss any
issues/concerns with your accountant or a representative of
Accounting Services.
If you are providing services internal to the organization
for the first time, you should also contact the budget office
to have the generation of internal revenue approved by them.
What is an interface reconciliation? Why do I have to do one?
Reconciling an interface is simply making sure that all
the transactions you intended to feed to CUFS made it there
successfully. For most people the process is very simple: a
summary report from the departmental system is compared to a
summary report from CUFS. Any discrepancies are investigated
and corrections made as necessary.
Reconciliations of any kind are, pure and simple, a
necessary form of internal controls. Our senior management
expect them to be done.
If your reconciliation process is "out of
control" or if you have other questions about the
reconciliation process, please call FSS at (612) 624-1617.
How long do I have to keep my interface reconciliations? Who
uses them?
The current recommendation is to keep interface
reconciliations for the current fiscal year and one year
prior. They will be reviewed annually by Accounting Services
and may be requested by either the internal or external
auditors.
What is the CUFS Suspense File Reconciliation report and how
can it help me?
This report was developed to aid the reconciliation
process described above. It provides a summary for each
Submitting Area of the total transactions that were fed and
accepted into CUFS. It also provides, in detail, any
transactions that were rejected or placed on hold (matching
what would show on the SUSF table in CUFS). So, it's a
"one-stop-shop" to see the status of all your
interfaced transactions and provides a single total to match
to your departmental transaction total.
