Forms and Templates

The following forms and templates are available as a baseline to provide guidance in completing documentation for various cash handling functions. If you are unable to view or download a form, please email: cash-handling@uiowa.edu.

Local Desktop Procedures Template

Units are encouraged to use this template to document local desktop procedures that must be approved by UI Accounting and Financial Services as part of the Departmental Certification process. However, each unit’s procedures should be revised/expanded to specifically reflect that unit’s cash handling procedures.

This completed document or a comparable one created by each unit’s Cash Collection Point Supervisor or designate must be routed for approval through UI Workflow.

PLEASE NOTE (February 1, 2005): This Adobe PDF document will be attached to a form to be routed through UI Workflow to Accounting and Financial Services for approval. The PDF document can be used now to help you in documenting your unit’s procedures. Please DO NOT submit a paper copy of this form to Accounting and Financial Reporting.

NOTE for UIHC ambulatory clinic and non-clinic units: Separate policies and procedures exist for cash collection in ambulatory clinics. UIHC clinics’ local desktop cash handling procedures have already been documented and approved by the appropriate hospital personnel. Therefore, submission and approval by UI Accounting and Financial Services is not required at this time. Ambulatory clinics should contact Terri Terrill or Gary Hansen in Ambulatory Care Services for questions.

All other UIHC units are required to follow the same procedures for certification and approval as the rest of the University of Iowa. All non-clinic hospital units should contact Tadd Miller in the Joint Office of Patient and Financial Services for questions.

 

Cash Handling is a function of the Accounting and Financial Reporting Office.  For questions or additional information, contact cash-handling@uiowa.edu
