PURCHASING, PAYABLES AND DISBURSEMENTS DIVISION ACCOUNTS PAYABLE DEPARTMENT
The Accounts Payable Department is responsible for examining all accounts, claims and demands against the University of Georgia and for making payment of all of the University’s legally incurred obligations for materials and services other than payrolls. The department ensures that payments are made and documented in compliance with University policies and procedures. The Accounts Payable Department also is responsible for maintaining records in compliance with federal and state regulations and submitting reports to federal and state agencies. Summary of Major Accomplishments
During Fiscal Year 2011, the Accounts Payable Department disbursed $653,140,062 in expenditures. The department processed 251,487 invoices, issued 122,874 checks and initiated 613 wire transfers and 568 ACH transfers. Accounts Payable now requires vendor verification before making a payment. Vendors are required to submit a vendor profile form before doing business with UGA. Accounts Payable utilizes the Internal Revenue Service’s Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) matching program to confirm each vendor’s TIN. This process should limit the number of B-Notices (back-up withholding notice for missing or incorrect TINs) that the IRS issues to the University for incorrect TIN numbers. The department also verifies that the vendor is not listed on the U.S. Treasury Department’s List of Prohibited Payees. Once the initial file is generated, a member of the Accounts Payable’s management team must approve the vendor before AP processing is complete. Accounts Payable and Procurement began working with Application Development and Data Management (ADDM) staff on an electronic version of the vendor profile form that would allow vendors to register via a Web site and then enable programming to route the form accordingly. This project is in the final stage of completion. The Accounts Payable Department worked to mask and remove social security numbers from stored files. Division-wide and departmental training has heightened the awareness of the sensitivity of the social security number, and additional efforts are being made to safeguard all applicable documents. Summary of FY 2012 Goals Accounts Payable is working to establish regular training for campus personnel. In December 2011 an “Introduction to Accounts Payable” course will be offered through Training and Development. The course will provide a broad overview of campus interactions with Accounts Payable including object coding, viewing invoices and receiving orders within UGAMart, and processing electronic check requests and travel reimbursements for payment. In conjunction with the initiative to provide training,

Accounts Payable will create other sessions utilizing Adobe Captivate and will provide an online library of tutorials for campus use. Accounts Payable will restructure the departmental Web site to accommodate users more effectively. New items will include an electronic check request service monitor, a scrolling news section to alert users of upcoming changes, and the addition of annual report information to assist Accounts Payable in becoming more transparent to campus. Accounts Payable is beginning to explore options to replace the current electronic check request system. A functional group of departmental staff members and campus users will be formed in the fall to begin discussions on the needed functionality. The department is also exploring a new vendor invoice/payment status lookup Web site. Accounts Payable will hold discussions with the Controller’s Division business process manager, Chris Wilkins, and internal IT representatives to investigate options for providing vendors with payment information via a Web site accessed by the vendor’s taxpayer identification number (TIN). Accounts Payable will continue to work towards electronic payment of vendors. ADDM began working on coding changes that would allow many vendors to receive electronic payments; however, the programming is incomplete due to ADDM refocusing its efforts on the removal of the social security number.
