SPAC

Sponsored Projects Accounting and Compliance (SPAC) serves as a resource and partner to departmental administrators and researchers in all aspects of post-award financial administration. We provide accounting and compliance support to the departments that are responsible for sponsored project execution and the day-to-day financial administration of the award. 

While the departments initiate and reconcile expenses for all financial transactions on sponsored projects (hirings, labor distributions, purchases, subcontracts, etc.), SPAC is responsible for the timely billing and reporting of these sponsored projects. 

SPAC provides resources and education to the departments to assist them with determining if charges to an award are allowable, allocable, and reasonable. Our resources support the compliance required by sponsors, regulatory authorities, and the University.

Effective Monday, September 16, 2024, SPAC will offer its SPAC Office Hours every Monday from 9am to 10am. During these times, the SPAC leadership team will be available to answer any questions you may have. Please note that the SPAC Office Hours are not for status updates, but for more general questions. For status updates, please contact the SPAC Manager of the department handling the matter.
