Welcome to the Controller's Office. The responsibility of the Controller’s Office is to furnish timely and accurate financial information to UC, DOE, and the Laboratory community. We are dedicated to delivering efficient and cost-effective financial services to ensure that the Laboratory has a strong internal control environment and is in compliance with government accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations.
The Controller’s Office consists of the following groups:
General Accounting
General Accounting (GA) provides overall coordination for the accounting activities at the Laboratory. GA is responsible for the monthly financial reporting to DOE and annual reporting to UC. GA handles property accounting, banking relations, and coordinates monthly close activities with divisions and OCFO departments.
Payroll
Payroll is responsible for all bi-weekly and monthly pay cycles, and all employee payroll-related activities. Payroll works to resolve all timekeeping issues and handles all federal and state regulatory filings (IRS, Franchise Tax Board, etc.).
Accounts Payable
Accounts Payable (AP) ensures timely payment of all vendor and non-payroll related employee payment requests. Accounts Payable maintains a strong system of controls to ensure that proper authorization and documentation is received before payments are made.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable (AR) provides billing and collection support for the Work-for-Others programs and projects. AR works closely with the Sponsored Projects Office to coordinate financial issues surrounding sponsors’ funding, advances, and billings.
