All rates and activities are subject to annual compliance reporting.
The Recharge Activity Table (PDF) below illustrates which office has final approval authority for establishing new recharge activity and modifying existing activity.
Recharge unit rate reviews and adjustments should be performed on a regular basis and at minimum every two years. Mandated and widely consumed rates are reviewed by the Recharge Rate Committee every 3-5 years, and rates with greater than $50,000 C&G recharge activity reviewed annually by Research Accounting. At any time, a rate review may be called by the Deans/Vice Provost/Vice Chancellor, Budget and Institutional Analysis, or Research Accounting.
