The transaction will then be submitted to the Planning and Budget Department, and will be linked to the available items and referred to the UQU Financial Department to be approved, after being reviewed. After that, the Ministry of Finance deposits the payment in the university's account to be finally disbursed to the academic staff member or the employee.
