Section 2 of the Campus Business and Financial Policies and Procedures Manual (University of Illinois Office of Business Affairs) stipulates that authorized approvers of University business transactions cannot approve their own documents or transactions on their own behalf. In order to comply with this University policy, the College requires that transactions payable to or on behalf of a unit head be approved by the next supervisory administrative unit or delegate (i.e., the next level on the organization chart). The Dean has delegated expenditure approval authority to the College Business Manager and the Executive Assistant Dean. Procedurally, the department/unit is responsible for preparing the appropriate voucher and ensuring compliance with University policies. Personnel in the College will review the voucher for compliance before forwarding for signature.
