ponsored Programs Accounting (Mississippi State University)
Mission Statement
Sponsored Programs Accounting is primarily responsible
for the management of the restricted funds of Mississippi State
University. This includes calculating and posting overhead, invoicing
the appropriate agencies, monitoring timely receipt of the funds, and
preparing financial reports for external agencies. Additionally, we
offer guidance and support to various users including deans, department
heads, principle investigators and departmental secretaries/bookkeepers
by assisting them in monitoring accounts, providing explanation of
accounting entries, and facilitating correction of errors. It is our
goal to provide friendly, efficient service to all users of the
sponsored programs accounting system.
