- Every registered student organization has an account at the Student Activities Business Office.
- The account is represented by your 5 digit account number, assigned to your group when you register (this number does not change from year to year). At the SABO window you can: make deposits, pick up Purchase Orders, request an Account Statement (a detail of your group's financial activity), pick up a check for a performer, plan a raffle, check out a cash collection bag, etc.
- SABO keeps a running balance of the money in your account, your current encumbances, and your available resources. Groups are not allowed to run a negative balance.
- Available money in a group's account stays in the group's account from one year to the next. It is not "use it or lose it" money.
- All of a group's financial transactions must go through the Student Activities Business Office. There can be no outside bank accounts.
- SABO handles all money related matters, paperwork, and contacts.
- We process all paperwork: including Purchase Orders, Check Requests, Requisitions, Cash Collection, and GSU Technical Services Requests.
- SABO processes Undergraduate Student Fee Allocations. These happen in three segments during the school year: once in August, November, and March.
- SABO processes payments to vendors, performers, hotels, etc.
- The treasurer is the person financially responsible for each student group, and SABO prefers to work with the treasurer whenever possible. The treasurer needs to know what is happening to the group's finances at all times. The treasurer is responsible for knowing what is happening with the student group's account.
- Paperwork may have various deadlines, depending on what it is and how complicated the program is. Be aware of the deadlines while you begin planning an event. If we are given paperwork past a deadline, we may refuse it and cause the program to change or even be canceled.
