Business Office

Description

The mission of the TTI Business Office is to provide business and accounting services in support of the Institute's Sponsored Research Program. Part of this includes working with TTI Program, Division, and Center employees to ensure that all business activities are performed in compliance with the rules and procedures of the Texas A&M University System (TAMUS), State of Texas and Federal regulations, and/or individual sponsored contract terms and conditions.

Employees of the A&M System are required to report factual information suggestive of fraudulent, wasteful or abusive activities that may involve the System or any of its members. To report such activities, employees can call the A&M System Risk & Misconduct Hotline at (888) 501-3850 or submit a report via the Internet at the System's Risk & Misconduct Hotline. Employees can also call the State Auditor's Office at (800) 892-8348 or submit a report via the Internet at sao.fraud.state.tx.us.
