Controller's Office

The Office of the Controller provides financial processing and control services to all Miami campuses, including the European Center in Luxembourg.

Using a Lean business approach to departmental goals and objectives, the Controller supports the University's educational, research, and service mission. The Controller supervises the University's Accounting and Accounts Payable functions.

Departmental Procedure-to-Pay Process

When making purchases, University departments can find support for each step of the process:

• Planning for purchases (e.g., finding vendors, creating contracts): The Office of Strategic Procurement
• Paying for goods or services (e.g., Supplier invoices, P-Card, Travel and Expenses): Accounts Payable
• Reconciling purchases with monthly reports: General Accounting or Grants and Contracts

Departments seeking to accept payment should follow the the Office of Investments and Treasury Services's cash handling policy.
