Ongoing Financial Affairs Projects

Financial Affairs works on a variety of projects throughout the year to support the university and make day-to-day operations run more smoothly. These projects can include updating systems, improving processes, rolling out new tools, or creating helpful resources and training. No matter the focus, each effort is aimed at making things easier and more efficient for the campus community.

Business Expense Form (BEF) Process Improvements

We’ve replaced the Business Expense Form (BEF) with the Business Entertainment & Hospitality Request (BEHR) form. Updated Financial Guidelines, Business Entertainment and Hospitality Procedures | Financial Affairs, training materials and job aids are available on our website.

Please use the BEHR form for all business entertainment and hospitality requests. A six‑month grace period is in effect through September 1, and any BEFs already submitted will be accepted. After September 1, any BEFs received will be returned for resubmission using the BEHR form.
