Project Certification

As required by The University of Texas System, the Division of Business Affairs is to obtain an Annual Financial Project Certification from each Project Manager. This deadline falls on third Friday September, following the end of each Fiscal Year. The certification is used to substantiate the Annual Financial Report.

The Project Manager assigned to a project at the end of each fiscal year (8/31/xx) is held responsible for submitting the annual project certification for the entire fiscal year regardless of when the Project Manager assumed this role.

If the Project Manager assumed this role any time after the beginning of the fiscal year:

• It is the new Project Manager’s responsibility to obtain a partial off-line certification (in writing) from the outgoing Project Manager, covering transactions from the beginning of the fiscal year to the point of transition. If the outgoing PM is no longer on campus, request this from the outgoing PM’s staff.
• If the PM has changed numerous times during the Fiscal Year, the latest outgoing PM should have a certification on file from the previous outgoing PM. The new Project Manager should obtain copies of those partial certifications as well.

These partial certifications will be used by the current Project Manager as justification to support his/her annual project certification.
The official September deadline will be published via Oracle Workflow Notification to all Project Managers.
