In accordance with State of Nebraska Statue 84-710, all cash, checks and credit card receipts must be deposited with the State Treasury within 3 business days of receipt if >$500 and within 7 days of receipt if <$500. Note that the time begins when anyone at UNK receives the funds, not just when the department Office Associate or the Finance Office receives the funds. The Finance Office requests that all departments routinely deposit receipts twice weekly at a minimum to comply with the state statute; however daily depositing is recommended. Receipts should be kept in a secure location at all times until the deposit is made with the Finance Office. For further guidance on controls & procedures regarding receipt handling, contact Jill Purdy at purdyj@unk.edu or see the cash/money handling policy.
Departments that handle money in any form (cash, coin, checks, money orders, debit cards or credit cards) should review annually the Cash/Money Handling and Accounts Receivable Policy. During the review of this policy, the department needs to verify that they are following the procedures within this policy. For additional support please reference the Cash Handing and Accounts Receivable Presentation. Please contact Jill Purdy at 8421 or purdyj@unk.edu if you had any questions.
