All fiscal, procurement, and grant management services are provided by Signer's Business Office (SBO) effective July 13, 2025. See information below:
Admins will continue to use Procards and Procard logs as usual for departmental purchasing. Admins will continue to reconcile all Procard purchases via JPMorgan. SBO will serve only as a backup reconciler if needed. All Procard charges are to be reconciled weekly and marked reviewed so Cecelia Chamberlain can approve on a timely basis. A procard log is required for each procard in the department. Please keep it current and available should Cecelia get an audit request from Central Procurement or Internal Audit.
Procurement - For any purchases not able to be made via an individual Procard or Custodial cards - submit the SBO Purchasing Request Form, and SBO will process. Admins are still responsible for providing detailed information and required/supporting documents. More information about procurement can be found at Signer's Business Office Purchasing
*Representational Allowances (MEG Form in NextGen) should be completed by the requester or purchaser. Remember to attach the approved rep allowances in the request if it’s Banner procurement, and to JPMorgan if it’s a procard charge.
*Cash or Check Deposits - Checks and cash to deposit should be brought to SBO according to the Accounting and Administrative Manual cash handling procedures https://www.alaska.edu/controller/acct-admin-manual/acct-and-finance/C-07.pdf
