  1. Q: Can we change the transaction date for a budget transfer?

    A: Any expense incurred should be coded to a relevant account. Therefore, miscellaneous account (70850) should not be expensed at all.

If there are difficulties in identifying the proper account for an expense, please contact the Accounting Department.
