== Purpose of the Policy ==  
This policy establishes requirements for processing transfers of direct costs to sponsored accounts. Federal regulations, generally accepted accounting principles, and good management practices require that all costs incurred be appropriate to and for the direct benefit of the project charged, and that accounting records be maintained on a timely and accurate basis. The federal government considers an excess number of cost transfers to be a sign of ineffective financial controls.
