Administrative Accountability Report Forms Pilot

The Administrative Accountability Report Forms are vital documents completed annually by all employees with financial or administrative responsibility for a budgetary unit or a research grant or contract. These forms ensure awareness of and adherence to U of T’s policies.

To modernize and streamline this process, the Division of People Strategy, Equity & Culture (PSEC), EASI and Financial Services have converted the hybrid and paper-based process into a fully online process. The new forms are hosted within the University’s HR Service Centre environment, enhancing compliance and simplifying completion.

If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to contact the team.

Getting Started

Use the HR Service Centre to complete your Administrative Accountability Report Form.

Submission Deadlines

  • Managers can only submit their forms after all direct reports have completed theirs.
  • To meet the University-wide deadline in June, divisions may have earlier deadlines to ensure timely review and approvals at every level – it only takes minutes, you can do it now.

Why the change?

While the current forms are functional, they lack modern features that improve efficiency and clarity. The new system offers several key benefits:

  • Digital Signatures
    Using your UTORid, eliminating the need for paper copies and manual signatures.
  • Enhanced Workflow
    The forms are easier to access, validate, and follow a transparent structure.
  • Centralized Storage
    Completed forms are securely stored in a centralized system, enabling efficient audits.

Pilot Program

This is the third pilot year of the online Accountability Report Forms. The pilot now includes approximately 250 employees from the following groups:

  • Finance Division
  • People Strategy, Equity & Culture
  • Faculty of Arts & Science Dean’s Office
  • Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education
  • Internal Audit Department
  • Planning and Budget Office

While the content of the forms remains unchanged, this pilot focuses on improving how they are accessed, submitted, tracked and stored.
