What Account Codes should be used for Sponsored Grant internal transfers?
- If funding deficits on a sponsored grant, the expense should be moved through the journal entry process from the grant to a departmental fund. The Account Code used should reflect the underlying expense. (i.e. Supply Labs/Technical expense – 53300)
- If an Emory department is paying another Emory department for services on a grant, the 8xxxx series Account Codes should be used rather than the 9xxxx series Account Codes. Recharge expenses and revenues are used most often (85xxx series) for these inter-department transfers.
- If moving residual funds from a sponsored grant, contact your OGCA Accountant for assistance.
What happens if a journal entry is created for a Sponsored Grant using 9xxxx series Account Codes?
The Controller’s Office will push back the journal entry and add the following comments: “We have been informed not to approve journals using a grant with a transfer account because it will not show up on the SPP report. Please contact your OGCA representative for the correct account to use.”
