Service Responsibilities

The Business Systems Office is responsible for coordinating all requests for system's enhancements or system replacements of University business systems. System enhancements-replacements are reviewed for compliance with regulatory agency rules and generally accepted accounting principles. Required modifications are then documented for the responsible University department to make changes. When modification is not feasible the market place is searched to find a suitable software match. Systems accountants also assist users in developing operating procedures and in testing new and modified systems. N.C. Statutes (GS 143-B426.39) require ASU to acquire the written approval of the Office of the State Controller for any significant system modifications before the system may be placed in service.
