Initiators

An Initiator is any NYU employee who logs into AP Workflow to request a reimbursement or an advance.

Every Initiator is assigned an approval path that automatically sends requests to the appropriate Approver.

Initiators are responsible for ensuring that:

• expenses comply with the University's Business Expenses Policy;
• expenses are supported by appropriate documentation;
  
• chartfields are correct;
  
• federal "unallowable costs" are segregated and charged to appropriate NYU accounts; and,
  
• expenses will not be re-submitted for reimbursement from another source.
