Inter-Department Charges
When certain services are exchanged between departments on campus, internal revenues and expenses are recorded in the general ledger. In accounting, we refer to this activity as inter department charges. Inter department charges require special accounting treatment.
How are they Accounted For?
The department providing the service is responsible for initiating a journal entry to record the activity. Cash should not be exchanged between the two departments.
Inter department activity is recorded in the following categories:
- Facilities Management
- Dining Services
- Information Technology
- Campus Services
- Bookstore
- Miscellaneous
