Generally Unallowable Transfers - Same Project but Changing Expenditure Type or Expenditure Item Date  

  1. Expenditure Type changes are generally not allowable because they indicate the type of Expense incurred.
  2. Modifying these elements changes the intent and impacts financial reporting, make sure justification is clear on why the original Expenditure Type is incorrect.
  3. EI Dates indicate the date a service was incurred, if you feel this is erroneous, submit clear documentation showing the true date the service was incurred, vital for Sponsored Research and appropriate accounting practices.
