On a biweekly basis, departments should complete the following:

- Reconcile financial accounts to approved expense reports.
FAQs
What is the procedure if someone in my department goes on a trip, but then leaves the university before being reimbursed?
Someone from your department will have to be added as the traveler’s delegate to complete the expense report. The delegate will need to email the ASU Travel Service Center when the expense report is ready for submission. The Travel service center will attach the email explaining that the traveler is no longer with the university and will submit the expense report on the traveler’s behalf.
