2.         Grant Support Group Luncheon – March 20, 2012 – Contact Grace Romero for more information [saldanagrace@sfasu.edu] before March 7th.

3.         Time to do a budget check – When was the last time you reviewed your budget? When was the last time you reconciled expenditures posted in Banner with purchase orders? When was the last time you compared your expenditures with your sponsor approved budget?

Don’t remember?! Then it’s time to check. Remember, most sponsors reserve the right to disallow expenditures in the final 90 days of a project if it is viewed as burning the funds. Also, all items must be encumbered BEFORE the end of a project.
