Monthly Financial Reports

Overview

The delivered Monthly Financial Reports (also called the department reports or ledgers) found in myUFL should be used for reconciliation.  Nothing that happens in myUFL – the official accounting records of the University – will escape being reflected on these reports.  The set of reports are normally available by the 5th business day of the month.  The UFACC listserv sends out an e-mail when these reports are updated and ready for use.

Accessing the Reports

Navigation: Main Menu > Enterprise Reporting > Department Reports

Note: If the page is blank, click “Show all content” at the bottom of the page.  If there is no option to “Show all content,” then it is a browser issue.  Some browsers do not understand that information from Enterprise Reporting within myUFL is secure and attempt to block the information.  Although the browser makes it appear the content is unsafe, this information is contained within myUFL and is actually secure.

FireFox: Click the green “lock” image to the left of the web address.  On the pop-up box, click the arrow next to it and select “Disable Protection.”

Chrome/Edge: Click the shield image on the right of the web address.  On the pop-up box, click “Allow Unsafe Script.”

To pull the reports, select your college and the department(s) you are reconciling.  The period defaults to the most recent month available.

Standard Monthly Financial Reports

There are (8) standard Monthly Financial Reports.  Each of these reports will provide different information about your department’s monthly financial activities.  Each cost center will have its own set of reports, available in both Excel and PDF.  Important: Review changes to Fund 143 Monthly Financial Reporting Guide.

You may not have all of these reports each month, depending on what applies to the selected department.

It is important to note that if you find an error in a report, the information must be adjusted in the myUFL system before it can be reflected on the following month’s reports.  Reports will reflect how the information was entered in myUFL, and should be reconciled and/or reviewed (depending on the report) to discover any transactions requiring correction.
