Research Administration Round Table: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 at 1:30 in G10 BioTech

This session will include the following topic: Fly America Act [SLIDES]

   Diane West, Accountant, Sponsored Funds Accounting

Even though the Fly America Act has been in existence since 1974 it is currently coming under closer scrutiny in federal audits. Through education and training we hope to minimize Cornell's risk. The roundtable will include an overview of the Fly America Act, explore the true meaning of code share, and provide a few examples of allowable and unallowable flights. We will also go over the use of the new Exemption Certification Form found on the web based Travel Reimbursement Request.

Important : Send us your questions
In an effort to tailor this session and give you a chance to be heard, we are asking you to submit your questions regarding Fly America Act to Chris Ashdown, cma20@cornell.edu prior to the meeting. Please forward your questions by Wednesday, November 23rd!
