The reports in MyFD meet records retention requirements and do not need to be printed.

Electronic signatures are an acceptable option for reconciliation, as well as additional digital notes and dates, and every effort should be made to reconcile electronically rather than using printed copies.

If your unit's business process previously required printing of these reports, we recommend reviewing your department's policies and talking with your administrator regarding keeping only electronic records instead of printing additional copies.

Note that any past reports, including printed MyFD reports, which were signed and dated to document reconciliation activity must be maintained in accordance with the University's retention schedule. For information about the retention period or records retention policies, please visit Records Management Services and consult with Internal Audit to verify your business processes meet requirements.

Using MyFD for reconciliation is not mandatory, but is a convenient electronic alternative that can replace manual, paper-based practices. Discuss using MyFD, for your department specific needs, with your administrator.

Interal Audit was actively involved in the design and decision making process for the Reconciliation report and Reconciliation Status report features in MyFD. Internal Audit has approved MyFD as a system that can be used as an alternative means for performing reconciliation activities.

Valid characters are 0-9, a-z, A-Z, ', &, %, $, ( ), /, -, :, *, #, comma, period, and space.

In accordance with the University of Washington's financial records retention guidelines, MyFD keeps all information for the current biennia plus 3 biennia.
