 * Any exchange of cash or negotiable instrument (e.g. check, money order, etc.) is to be validated by the use of an 

    official receipt with the exception of athletic event tickets, which serve as their own receipt of the transaction.

Deposit of Funds

Each area, with the exception of the Williams Educational Fund and the KU Endowment Association, which receives and controls funds, is responsible for preparing a deposit report and delivering the funds to the Athletic Business Office, as specified by Kansas Athletics standard operating procedures. Funds are to be deposited the day they are received, whenever possible. Daily cash and check deposits are prepared within the Athletic Business and Ticket Offices and carried by an armored truck via locked bank bag to a local bank. A deposit slip is attached to the checks and cash within the bag.

Verification of Deposits

The deposit slip is returned to the Athletic Business Office the next day. This receipt is verified against the deposit detail kept by the Business Office and posted to the General Ledger daily. The Business Office prepares a bank reconciliation monthly to verify a second time the deposit amount.

Athletic Development Fund

As delegated by the Associate Director of Athletics/Development, the WEF Staff is responsible for the receiving, recording, receipting and posting of all gifts to the WEF.
