Administrative Services Manual
Inter-Institutional Financial Transactions

Section: Accounting Effective Date: 3/1/2006
ASM Policy: 2.2.4 Supersedes: 5/1/2005



I.

University of Wisconsin System Administration policy FPPP #18, formerly titled Inter-Institutional Contractual Agreements, addresses a wider range of inter-institutional financial transactions. It is linked here for your convenience.

II. The Inter-Institutional Agreement is available in the BFS OnLine Forms section

III.

Inter-Institutional agreements (IIA's) will be executed only in cases where an unclassified employee of one institution performs services for another institution as part of a load. The selling institution should prepare a standard invoice form. Click here for a pdf sample showing how to fill it out. The Standard Invoice Form is available from the Accounts Receivable Office (call 3116). 

In all other circumstances institutions purchasing the services of an unclassified individual employed at another UW institution will create a new appointment and payroll the person directly.

A.

No communication with the other UW institution is required if the combined appointment is less than 100% or if the amount of the payment is less than $1,000.

B.

If the payment is over $1,000 and the combined appointment will be over 100%, the purchasing institution will payroll directly, but an overload approval form, signed by both institutions, will be required.

IV.

The method of accounting for transfers of extramural funds will depend upon whether the transfer is related to joint participation in a sponsored project, or is simply payment for goods/services that one institution has provided another. 

When one institution is simply purchasing goods/services from another institution, the selling institution will not set up a 144 or 133 account and there will normally be no pass-through of indirect cost reimbursement.

Questions can be directed to Accounting Services at x5240 or by email.
