FSO News

After the close of each fiscal year, the Financial Services Office (FSO) performs a review of all Procurement Card transactions (PCDO) in UAccess Financials that do not contain supporting documentation. In an effort to improve this process, we request that departments send all remaining PCard supporting documents for fiscal year 2018 (statement months from July 2017-June 2018) to FSO. Prompt submission of missing documentation will reduce additional email requests and/or prevent PCards from being placed on hold.

This is a reminder that transactions with foreign vendors for certain purchases are not allowed to be paid with a UA PCard.

The UAccess Financials Upgrade is complete.  Congratulations to all those who have worked so hard to accomplish this goal!  We also thank campus for your patience throughout this process. You can now log into the upgraded system and process transactions.  To access the system:

In November 2017, Tucson resident voters approved a tenth of a percent increase to the City of Tucson sales tax rate. Accordingly, effective February 1, 2018, the rate rose from 2.5% to 2.6%, increasing the total retail sales tax rate in Tucson, AZ from 8.6% to 8.7%. As UA is exempt from the collection of City of Tucson sales tax for sales made by the UA, this change will only apply to purchases from Tucson vendors located within the city limits.

This change has no impact on Arizona use tax assessment, which remains at 5.6%.

See a recording of the UAccess Financials Upgrade Demo that gives an overview of the new look and some updated processes.
