Fiscal Roles

Fiscal Roles are used by Grants and Contracts for most post award communications and automated reports to our department partners; in addition, they drive access to certain transactions in Marketplace and Concur.  

Sponsored Project Fiscal Roles include:

• Principle Investigator (PI) – This role is given based on the award notice. An update to this role requires sponsor approval.
• Fiscal Manager (GADM) – This role is for the department administrator who is largely responsible for the oversight of financial activity on the project. This role is used to burst OGC reports related to closeout of awards and projects.
• Fiscal Staff

In order to update these roles please send requests to OGC.FiscalRoles@ucdenver.edu We can accept requests in multiple formats.  

All requests must include: 

• Project ID
• Current name and employee ID
• New Name and employee ID
• Reason for the Change

Reports Available to pull Fiscal Role Info: For changes based on staff turnover, we recommend you use m-Fin Fiscal Role reports in CU-Data to find all the projects that need to be updated. You can also download that report to excel data and then modify to add the fields related to the employee we are changing to.  

Navigation: A report to verify Fiscal Roles can be found in CU Data under Team Content > Finance > Look Ups m-Fin Fiscal Roles and m-Fin Fiscal Roles II.

The information in this article can also be found on the OGC website.

Gifts Fund 34s - Gift Fund Management

CU Gift Fund Management training in SkillSoft is required training for anyone who works with gift funds. The Office of Grants and Contracts would like to remind departments and those who manage Gifts of the requirements and allowability when creating Cash Transfer Journal Entries (JE) that involve fund 34s.

• Gifts function on a Cash available basis.
• Gifts that link to the Foundation cannot transfer cash to another Gift Fund that is linked to the Foundation.
• Parent/Child Speedtypes
  • The Parent is the only Speedtype that interacts with the Foundation.
  • The Child Speedtype should only receive Cash from Parent Speedtype; the Funding source listed when Child Speedtype created.
• Must comply with the University’s Fund Transfer Rules.

It is strongly recommended that those who took Gift Management training more than two years ago, should complete the training again since the training module was recently updated. See CU: Gift Fund Management training in SkillSoft.
