OSP E&T Unit: CRAG October 2024- Concur DCF Transition and Cybersecurity Training

This CRAG meeting will feature colleagues from GCAS who will explain and answer questions related to the upcoming changes to the Departmental Cost Transfer (DCF) process, effective December 1, 2024. Please review the updated processes below:

• Non-Labor P2P Transactions – non-labor requests (e.g., purchase invoices) processed through P2P will now be entered through Concur Requests (i.e., iBuy) and no longer accepted through P2P Invoice Submission (i.e., Remedy).
  • The paper version DCF will be obsolete and the transactions will need to be entered directly into Concur (similar to the non-grant transactions).
  • Per the Cost Transfer policy, all documentation requirements must be submitted for each request (i.e., completed Cost Transfer Justification Form (CTJF), copy of original invoice/source document, and a system generated accounting report). See Cost Transfer Policy for details.
• Department Distribution of Clearing Account Expenses Form (DDF) (including Journal Entry-Inter-Departmental/Service Center Transactions) – submission process will remain the same via Remedy. 
• Labor Cost Transfer (LCT) – submission process will remain the same via Remedy.

In addition to the DCF training, colleagues from GW IT will join the CRAG meeting to discuss cybersecurity practices relevant to the research administration community. More frequent and sophisticated phishing and cyber fraud efforts continue to surface, increasingly targeting organizations involved in research. CRAG attendees will have the opportunity to hear about these issues and about ways that we can safeguard our work.

This session is appropriate for any member of the GW research community.
