Mission Statement

The Sponsored Accounting Office ("SAO") is responsible for monitoring and executing the post-award administration of sponsored activity for the University.

To accomplish this task, SAO must maintain (1) an effective grants management system to monitor compliance with fiscal and reporting requirements as established by Federal and State law, agency regulations, University policy and procedures, and generally accepted accounting standards; (2) an effective cash management system to ensure the payment of obligations and the collection of funds, (3) accurate general ledger information to ensure proper financial presentation of sponsored activity within University financial records; and (4) a support structure for University personnel engaged in research activity.

To ensure proper post-award compliance, SAO regularly monitors activity and coordinates with Pre-Award Departments, Financial Offices, Departmental Administrators, and Principal Investigators. In addition, SAO assists in the training of those involved in sponsored activities with courses offered through the office of Training Organizational Development.
