Did you know that a Financial Manager is assigned to each one of your Fund, Organization, and Program code segments? The person assigned as Financial Manager should be familiar with the accounting transactions posting to these codes.
UAFR recommends that the Financial Manager assigned to your Fund, Organization, and Program codes be someone who has detailed knowledge of your unit’s accounting transactions. The assigned Financial Manager is typically UAFR’s first point of contact when accounting questions arise. Therefore, it's best if they are closely involved in your unit’s business functions (contrary to a dean or a department head who often are focused on managing other aspects of the unit, rather than directly involved with its business activities).
If you need to update your assigned Financial Managers, simply send an email to uas@uillinois.edu requesting a change. In addition, UAFR annually contacts units asking for a review of assigned Financial Managers. This process typically starts in late February and you can request changes as part of that process as well.

If you have questions, contact UAFR’s appropriate subject matter expert within the FOAPAL Codes section of UAFR’s Who to Ask list.
