GCO: Fiscal Authority ID Charges (FAID)
PURPOSE
A Fiscal Authority Identification Number (FAID) is assigned to a PI by the CDRC Business Office to allow the PI to expense internal charges directly to a project without obtaining a purchase order.
For example, a FAID is required by the OHSU Parking and Transportation Department when requesting ID badges for employees or parking passes.
PROCEDURE
Please note that all expenses charged to a grant must be allowable per OHSU and Federal guidelines.
- PI informs GCO of expense prior to purchase, provide the following information:
- Contact information and department requiring FAID
- Justification for expense
- Cost of expense
- Date of event or expense
- GCO directly contacts the department that requires the FAID and provides the GCO assigned FAID.
Please note: Fiscal Authorities are not authorized to give their FAID number to CDRC staff.
