The Customs, Travel and Compliance Specialists report to the Manager of Procurement and Contract Management within Finance Procurement and Planning.

These positions are one of three roles that are responsible for managing the daily activities relating to Customs Clearance, Travel Management and Compliance Services.

The three units are independent of each other and require daily review, processing and support by a team of individuals to ensure continuity throughout the organization and the safeguarding of University assets and reputation.

Customs Services is a centralized service that coordinates the import and export of product and equipment and freight forwarding on behalf of all University faculties, departments and units. The objective of this unit is to effectively and efficiently move trans-border products and equipment from and to the University of Alberta globally. The unit realizes cost savings through best practices, minimizes risk by instituting legislative requirements and know-how, remains compliant with the Administrative Monetary Penalty Systems (AMPS) pertaining to Canada Border Security Agency (CBSA) regulations and ensures risk associated with the University’s reputation is considered and managed at all times.

Travel Management provides the University of Alberta with economical, efficient and effective travel products and services to meet the needs of the diverse campus community. This portion of the role ensures that all financial transactions are monitored daily, reconciled to each unit/department, balanced against the general ledger and are compliant with University Policy and Procedures. This includes the reconciliation of the Central Pay card for all airfare bookings and the processing of all hotel bookings processed through the HAP process (Hotel Authorization Program). In addition, the specialists respond to inquiries relating to the Travel Management program.

The Compliance Services portion of the role provides daily support to the Senior Compliance Coordinator. The Senior Compliance Coordinator allocates work activities including cash advance reconciliation, central compliance review of University issued Purchasing Cards purchases (PCards), review of auto approved travel & expense claims and review of data received from the central data warehouse (PAIR) that requires additional follow up.
