Please reach out to us, accordingly, at the following email address:

• Grants and Contracts: grantsaccounting@sandiego.edu
• Gifts and Endowments: giftaccounting@sandiego.edu

Correction requests should be submitted to accounting@sandiego.edu with a thorough explanation of the correction needed including what caused the error and the date the transaction posted to Workday. Please include all appropriate documentation. Please note that financial accounting standards prevent us from reallocating any gift without written approval from the donor.

The answer to this question depends on the issue:

• Questions regarding expense transactions (e.g., incorrect amounts or expenses charged to the wrong budget line) should be directed to the Office of the Controller at accounting@sandiego.edu.
• Questions regarding your budget or line item budget appropriations should be directed to the Budget Office at budget@sandiego.edu.

Financial information for departments, grants, contract, spendable gifts and pooled gifts is obtained directly from the Workday system on a real-time basis.

An expense transfer for goods and services or a correction to expenses already processed may be handled by completing the Journal Entry Request within Workday.

Pooled gifts payouts are calculated at four percent of the trailing three-year average of each pooled gifts market value. See the pooled gifts web page for further information.

Burdened Benefits represent fringe benefit costs associated with paying an employee. The university uses a dual system for charging fringe benefits: one set of rates applies to Federal grants and contracts, and one set of rates applies for everything else.
