Typical Financial Administration Tasks

Details matters...

And, boy oh boy, did I find a whole lotta them for all of you.

Here's a link that breaks down the major tasks involved in fiscal administration: http://www-hr.ucsd.edu/classification/caguide/cataskfiscal.pdf.

And, you can see how the tasks vary in complexity and responsibility at different classification levels (_Asst II, _Asst III, Specialist).

The major task areas are:
  • pre-award administration
  • intramural fund administration
  • post-award administration
  • revenue administration
  • purchasing administration
  • general administration

So, if you want to know more about what "managing funds" and "work on a proposal" means, then enjoy the feast of words that lies behind the click of a button.

Important Note: Keep in mind that one job card can host tasks from various levels of classification. Ultimate classification of a job card depends on the predominance of duties, scope of responsibilities, level of independence, knowledge required, difficulty, purpose, supervision exercised, guidelines used in the performance of duties, and innovation/originality.
