  4. Obtaining Approval For Expenditures • Get approval before you spend from your area vice chancellor • Get approval before you spend • Get approval before you spend • Al Hooten is the IRIS responsible person for all ARRA funds. • E-mail: ahooten@utm.edu • Allow time for processing

  5. Initiating Paperwork • Departments hiring employees paid by stimulus funds will be responsible for preparing all paperwork and for entering time and leave information in IRIS. • Departments purchasing items or services paid by stimulus funds will be responsible for initiating paperwork and for ensuring that policies and procedures are followed in the purchasing process. • If the purchase qualifies as an asset, the “Resp. cost center” field should have the departmental cost center account number. The “Fund” field is for the account number that is actually paying for the asset (ARRA).

  6. Submitting Paperwork (1) • Departments need to provide as much detail as possible on all paperwork due to strict reporting requirements. • Timesheets of approved stimulus-funded positions will be submitted to Al Hooten with the required employee and supervisor signatures. • Purchase requisitions will be entered by the departmental specialist and forwarded to the area vice chancellor for approval (Annette Moore for VCAA).

  7. Submitting Paperwork (2) • All invoices will be prepared for entry and verified for accuracy and receipt of goods in accordance with fiscal policy and then forwarded to the area Vice Chancellor for approval (Annette Moore for VCAA). • Departments should submit a Vendor Request in IRIS for any vendors not already in the system. • Finance and Administration will enter invoices and will retain all original paperwork related to stimulus expenditures. Invoices associated with contracts and other centrally processed invoices will be forwarded to the necessary department after Al Hooten’s approval has been obtained.
