We need more detail. A more appropriate description is “Incorrectly coded a registration fee deposit on 3/1/16 to XXXXX and it needs to be moved to XXXXX, where other registration fees were collected.” ◦ When moving a charge, keep the description the same as the current Banner description for a clear audit trail ◦ Include document numbers (either in the explanation or at the end of the description) when possible

 Gather supporting documentation for the entry (ex. a Banner screen print, a copy of an invoice, an trail, a report, etc.). You will need to scan this information into your computer as well. ◦ The “Snipping Tool” or “Snagit” programs on your computer are helpful for getting screenshots without printing and scanning, or sending entire documents.
