The University of Arizona receives ACH and wire payments that post in the UAccess Financials Electronic Payment Claim area. There are 40 payments dating back to December 2016 that remain unclaimed and require review. We encourage you to please review the Unclaimed ACH and Wire Transfers application for any payments that belong to your department. If a payment(s) belongs to your department, please claim the ACH or wire via the Electronic Payment Claim screen in UAccess Financials.

The Financial Services Travel Office is proud to announce the release of a new Travel Authorization Form, including an electronic approval process.  The new electronic routing process will eliminate the submission of paper Travel Authorization forms. Financial Services Manual Policy 14.10 Travel Authorization has been updated to reflect these procedural changes and reformatted to follow the standard University policy template to include:

On behalf of Financial Services Accounts Payable, the deadline for submission of all Purchase Order invoices, Disbursement Voucher coversheets with supporting documentation, and appropriate approvals is Friday, December 14 at 5:00 PM to guarantee payment prior to the University closure. Please submit all invoices and reimbursements to Accounts Payable by the December 14 deadline to ensure adequate time to review and disburse payments by Friday, December 21.  UAccess Financials edocs must receive full department approval in order to be processed.

As previously announced in late September, Financial Services is remodeling our space in the University Services Building (USB) rooms 402 and 502.

We are pleased to inform Campus that Phase 1 of the remodel (room 402) is complete.  Teams and services have returned to normal for units previously located in this office.  Many of our employees are in a new location in the room, so if you are visiting be sure to stop at the front desk for directions.

Financial Services is remodeling our space in the University Service Building (USB) rooms 402 and 502 starting October 1 through early December. In order to maintain continued service to our customers, we have identified temporary work locations for our employees and customer service teams.

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:
