Custodian Responsibilities

Responsibilities

  • Ensure all policies and procedures are in place and working.
  • Monitor activities to ensure that adequate levels are maintained. Custodians should request an increase or a reduction accordingly.

  • Ensure that all expenditures paid through the revolving fund are legitimate expenses for the University.
  • Ensure all merchandise billed has been received.
  • Review and ensure all reimbursement requests contain all the proper documents.
  • Report expenditures, perform monthly account reconciliations and request reimbursements.

Changing Custodians

  • Report custodian changes to the Revolving Fund contact.
  • Update your bank signature card.
    • As signers on existing account change, a new signature card must be submitted. Each signature card superceeds a previous one. Contact Banking & Accounting Operations when obtaining new signature cards.

Changing Fund Name/Address

Cash Account

Inform the Revolving Fund contact who will send you a new master of the Revolving Fund Invoice Voucher.

Checking Account

Inform the Revolving Fund contact who will send you a new master of the Revolving Fund Invoice Voucher. A new signature card with the new name is also required. Financial Services will also send a letter to Bank of America with the change information and the new signature card attached. You will receive a copy of the letter for your records.

Follow the procedures for changing names and addresses if the account is with any other bank. If the bank requires a new signature card, remember to send the signature card to Financial Service for the Director's signature before forwarding the card to the bank.
