Your Ideas Matter

Jayhawks Elevate is successful because of you. Your ideas make us better. Below are some examples of processes being improved by your peer's ideas. Check out changes being made. Perhaps you have an idea to submit too!

Capital Asset Improvement

Wendy Reese recognized an increase in the corrections being made on Capital Asset Entries even though these transactions were being reviewed by multiple individuals. She partnered with KUCR to emulate their Capital Asset checklist to better educate those involved. In addition, she now sends communication on transactions misidentified as Capital Assets to all involved parties to improve training and accountability for all involved. She is seeing significantly fewer errors with these changes.

Employee Reimbursements in Concur

Judy Hamner suggested using Concur Expense for more than just Travel Expenses. By shifting our Employee Non-Travel reimbursements to Concur employees will submit less documentation, back office processes will be more automated, and there will be less manual audit checks.
