Grants Accounting

Grants Accounting processes the financial transactions of grants and contracts that have been awarded through Research and Sponsored Programs. The funds are sometimes referred to as "Restricted Fund" accounts because they have been awarded for a specific purpose, with a restricted budget. They are governed by a variety of laws, regulations, and guidelines promulgated by the University and other state agencies, which are responsible for the operation of this institution.

In addition, sponsoring agencies develop their own rules and regulations. These regulations range from zero governance by certain private sponsors to very complex regulations such as those described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circulars A-21 and A-110 which are implemented according to the dictates of the several federal granting agencies.
