Business & Financial Services is responsible for the pre audit of campus expenditures and transactions to make sure that they meet all State of Wisconsin and University requirements.  As part of this process,  individuals who complete these transactions must be authorized to perform them.  

All transactions requiring an authorized signature will be checked against the signature database to ensure that the signer is authorized for the transaction.  If the person signing the transaction is not authorized, the paperwork will be returned.
