Who can not approve hospitality expenses?
Principal Investigators or Project Directors of the Foundation do not have authority to approve hospitality expenses. This is applicable for both discretionary accounts and grant accounts. A Dean may not delegate signature authority to a Principal Investigator or Project Director. A Principal Investigator or Project Director, who is also a Dean, may approve project or grant expenditures other than their own. The next highest level of approval is required for expenses incurred by a Principal Investigator or Project Director that is also a Dean. ASMs who are a Principal Investigator or Project Director may not approve expenses for their own project or grant. A Dean or higher level of approval is required.
