Delegating Expenditure Authority on Grant Accounts

The PI (Principal Investigator) is the direct line authority for expenditure authorization and oversight on awards.  The PI can delegate financial decision making responsibility to UK employees by sending written correspondence to OSPA identifying the individual(s) authorized to act on their behalf.  A FRS/HRS/Purchasing and Related Beta93 Access Form may also need to be completed to authorize FRS authority to create, receive, and approve requisitions on the specified account(s).  The form is available through the University Forms page.  

The PI will continue to receive account transaction paperwork and remain responsible for account oversight and transactions made by individuals authorized to act on their behalf.
