New policy set on budget authorization for catered events

The Office of Internal Auditing has announced a change to the policy on catered events, effective
Sept. 1.

Any catering event charged to a University budget or foundation account must now have the authorization of that budget’s official administrator. The budget administrator must sign an authorization form identifying the budget name and area/organization number.

This form is available from the Office of Catering Arrangements, 231 Bowen-Thompson Student Union, and will be provided at the time of the event booking. It can be returned in person or by fax to Catering Arrangements once the budget administrator has provided the necessary information and signature. Only the official budget administrator’s signature can be accepted. A designee cannot be substituted.

Needed information includes:
• Name of the budget
• Name of the budget administrator (to be confirmed from the Treasurer’s Office)
• Area/Org for that budget
• Actual signature of the budget administrator

This information must be on file at Catering Arrangements before the event can be officially booked.

Questions can be addressed to Catering Arrangements, 231 Bowen-Thompson Student Union, or by phone at 2-6951.
