Certification Due for Certain USAS Balances [posted 06/06/25]

To ensure correct fiscal year-end USAS balances for imprest, petty cash and travel advance accounts, agencies must certify that USAS balances and agency computed balances (cash plus outstanding reimbursements) agree. Only cash accounts with funds from the state treasury are subject to this requirement.

Certification is due July 7. All corrections must be entered in USAS by July 18.

See USAS Balances for Imprest, Petty Cash and Travel Advance Accounts (FPP A.045) for more information, including the updated Petty Cash Certification web application.
