Accounts Payable
Disputes
The guidelines noted above relating to: i) Donations, j) promotional expenses, and k) work environment expenses are intended to make available written guidelines to assist departments in distinguishing between allowable and unallowable university expenses. In situations where the Accounting Office disagrees with a department’s interpretation that a payment is an allowable expense under this i), j), and k) of these guidelines, the payment will be routed to the appropriate Vice President for approval.
- If the Vice President does not support the purchase, the employee will need to personally fund the expense.
- Some promotional, work environment or morale building expenses may be more appropriately paid for by the NDSU Development Foundation.
