Accounting and Financial Reporting

The Office of Accounting and Financial Reporting is responsible for tracking all OSC expenditures, reconciling OSC records with central accounting systems at the university and projecting expenditures by contract. Principal investigators receive monthly status reports on contract balances and projections.

Accounting personnel also meet with faculty and staff to communicate new requirements and ensure that university policies are being followed. The office also monitors access to OSC offices and labs, oversees the mailroom and handles photocopy accounts.

Personnel include Kina Barton, a business-finance administrator; Melissa Fasulo, a business-finance administrator; and Ruth Smith, the business-finance manager. Principal investigators should review accounting policies and current reports with their accounting representative.

Faxes should be sent to 520-626-6989.

The University of Arizona also maintains several websites that contain important information about policies on expenditures and research:
