New Accounts: Determine the account's purpose and its source, amount and intended use of funds. Be sure to review the account types. Contact your fund accountant if you need help. Next, complete a New Account Proposal Form.

Account Update/Maintenance: Changes to approved signers must be approved by the Responsible Person. Changes to the Responsible Person must be authorized by the responsible person's supervisor. You can change/correct the responsible person and/or approvers by completing the FRS Account Update Memo. You can also make Other Changes such as account name, address, etc.

Account Delete: When the purpose for an account no longer exists and all reporting and administrative requirements are fulfilled, use an RBC, an RFAA, an e-mail or memo to notify Financial Management to close an account. The document should request that the account be closed and must be signed by an authorized signer.
