Best Practices

  • Whenever possible, the expenditure should be posted to the correct account at inception to avoid the need to request transfers.
  • Expenditures transferred should retain the same Expenditure Category or Object of Expenditure (OEC).
  • Expenditure transfers should be consistent with the purpose and NACUBO classification of the account.
  • Adequate funding should be in place to support transfer requests.
  • Reviewing your accounts regularly will ensure accuracy.

Transferring Expenditures

The procedures and guidelines for transferring an expenditure differ depending on the type of expenditure and the funding source(s) involved in the transfer.  

Expenditures cannot be transferred between all funding sources, please see the reference tables in the appropriate tab for guidelines.
