Why is there an item on my printout which I don recognise?
• Sometimes an unfamiliar charge is correct but has not been anticipated. For example, if a fee paid to someone has to have National Insurance paid on it, you will see the employer’s National Insurance charge as well as the original fee. Your Accounting Officer or Faculty / Resource Centre Accountant may be able to spot what has happened in this sort of case. • Another department may have charged you for something by journal. You should normally have been involved in this process, but if not your Accounting Officer or Faculty / Resource Centre Accountant can trace who has initiated the journal and seek clarification. • Alternatively, the item may have been misposted. Your Accounting Officer or Faculty / Resource Centre Accountant will be able to trace the transaction and correct the coding.
