At Luddy, separate financial accounts exist to track expenses in each area, department, grant account, and faculty research account. Faculty, department chairs, and directors are assigned account manager responsibility for their respective accounts. Account Managers should utilize the BATMAN tool to regularly review activity and balances on their accounts.

An account manager should review reports each month to ensure all charges are:

• Complete – all expected charges are present
• Accurate – the correct amount is charged to the correct account
• Valid – there are no erroneous charges

Please contact Mike Noth at mnoth@iu.edu to report errors or omissions.

Teaching expenses and department or school expenses are charged to department or school accounts. The business office staff can assist with questions on these accounts. For questions on contract and grant accounts contact Luddy Grant Administration. For questions on Faculty Research accounts (22 accounts) please contact Jessica Meyer at meyerjes@iu.edu. For questions about all other Luddy Accounts please contact Mike Noth mnoth@iu.edu.
