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.

TIP: Get funding for career development training?

I love the Staff Equal Opportunity Enrichment Program (SEOEP)! And, now it can be your best friend too!

The Staff Equal Opportunity Enrichment Program (SEOEP) program provides individual awards up to $500 for training activities to help cover tuition/ book expenses for career development activities.

While the application period is not open yet, I feel it in my bones that it's going to happen really soon. So, why not get a head start by perusing the application requirements and selection criteria....

We're famous!

On February 16, 2009, This Week@ UCSD published an article about the award winners at the 14th Annual Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action and Diversity Awards. And, in the article, UExplore is highlighted as a new program that promotes staff diversity across all of Academic Affairs. Through our considerable efforts and hard work in the areas of staff outreach and training and development, we have greatly contributed to the campus' progress in achieving diversity goals.

Woo hoo!

The February 16th article doesn't have this picture, though....
