Approving Expense Reports 
A Financial Approver must approve the Traveler's Expense Report submission before reimbursement can be issued. If expenses don’t meet approval guidelines, the Financial Approver may deny the expense. Approval responsibility should be assigned to an individual who can judge whether the expenditure is both appropriate and reasonable for university business.
The approver is the “check” in the expense reporting process to identify potential or actual errors in expense reporting and is equally accountable for all expenditures. By approving the Expense Report, the approver is attesting that each transaction (and its supporting documentation) has been reviewed and is an allowable UC Riverside travel expense.
