The University of Florida Foundation, Inc (Foundation) provides financial information for Foundation funds on-line via the Foundation Accounting System (FAS). The goal of this site is to make information more accessible to fund administrators and other users. Users of the system are able to view on-line balances, revenues/expenses and transaction level detail related to their Foundation funds.

Information obtained from FAS is considered confidential and not for public use.

Each fund administrator may access the information relating to his/her fund(s). An operator ID and password will be assigned for all fund administrators. A fund administrator who wishes to provide access to their fund information through FAS to another staff member may share their operator ID and password with that staff member. The confidentiality requirements extend to anyone that you choose to allow access to this information. Any donor information reflected in FAS is not to be extracted and used for any other purpose.

To access the information on the FAS web site, you must use a computer with a web browser and a connection to the Internet. This web browser must be either Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher) or Netscape (version 6.0 or higher).

Information on the FAS web site is available as of the prior business day and FAS contains financial information for the past five fiscal years. The Foundation operates on a fiscal year beginning July 1 and ending June 30 (the same as the University).

The purpose of each fund and its restrictions are displayed on each financial report and are provided to insure the proper use of each fund. Please review the restrictions prior to requesting expenditures from a fund.

This is the case with all screens with the exception of the Income Statement (first level), where revenues are shown as positive numbers.
