Grants and Agency Funding
Grants and agency accounting manage the financial component of the university's externally funded research, public service, and other separately budgeted projects.
Department Transfers
There are occasions when departments are required to transfer funds from one department to another. Some transfers are for expenses that one department incurs but are the responsibility of another department. These transfers are requests for reclassification of receipts or disbursements. Transfers of this type are indicated by a transaction code of 060 on FRS screen 023. The effect of reclassification of receipts or disbursements on account balances is to increase account balances with a credit entry and decrease account balances with a debit entry.
Financial Responsibilities of Budget Managers
A budget manager, as defined by Loyola University New Orleans, is anyone named as the responsible individual for an active account. Budget managers may have budget responsibility for more than one active account. The following sections outline some of the responsibilities and financial duties of a budget manager named on a department, agency, center, grant, or any other unit account that has a budget.

Bank Accounts
Use of Loyola's Name on Bank Account
Loyola University maintains multiple bank accounts for various business purposes. These accounts are registered under Loyola's name and Corporate ID number and include only signers that are listed in our current Corporate Banking Resolution approved by the Board of Trustees of the university. Due to various tax and regulatory ramifications, the use of Loyola University in the name of an account or the use of Loyola University's Corporate ID number for any other bank account is prohibited.
