Finance Forms

District Accounting is requesting all employees to use the new Finance forms in order to process any financial transactions such as expense transfers, budget transfers, direct pays, travel reimbursements, and independent contractor invoices. The new forms listed below are in PDF "fill-in" format and are the only approved standard forms that Accounting will accept. The forms also include a section for you to enter the Index account as a shortcut instead of entering the entire FOAP string.

If you have any questions, request for modifications regarding the current approved forms, please contact Trena O'Connor at OConnorTrena@fhda.edu or Scottie McDaniel at McDanielScottie@fhda.edu and submit your request and form sample. Then, your request will be evaluated by the District's form standard review committee. Once the form passed the review, it will be posted for download and use.

For best results in using the new District forms, we recommend that you use Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro instead of Apple Preview.

In addition, since the District has purchased a site license agreement for Adobe Creative Suite of applications, you can now install the latest version of Acrobat Pro in your District computer. Acrobat Pro will provide you more flexibility in using these forms and will allow you to save your information. For more information about how to access the new Adobe applications, please see the ETS Getting Help page.

Petty Cash Reimbursement

A petty cash fund serves as a revolving fund and may be established in a department when it can be demonstrated that a continuing cash advance should be kept on hand to permit the purchase of low-value (less than $100) supplies. Employee meals cannot be reimbursed using petty cash funds. Employee meals are to be reimbursed using a Trip Voucher. Purchases of food, other than employee meals, may be reimbursed using petty cash funds, provided they meet the low-value threshold noted above. Petty cash funds may be established in amounts up to $8,000, depending on the needs of the department. The Controller has the authority to increase the amount if warranted by the circumstances.
