  8. FY13 Budget Summary

  9. Why Multiple GL’s? • Federal requirements stipulate that each Grant Award activity deliverer reports with the following attributes: • Data consistency • Report reproducibility • Clear Audit trail • Ability to create consolidated annual report

  10. GL’s Assigned by Office of the Chancellor • State fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30. • Use of different General Ledgers to ensure full transparency across years: • Name FY 13 FY14 • Basic 384131 384141 • Reserve 384132 384142 • Leadership 384133 384143 • Sub-Grants 384134 384144 • Reallocation 384135 384145

  11. Chart of Account Set-up: Business Office at System Office (SO) assigns five GL numbers SO directs all colleges to use ONLY the assigned five GL’s for their accounting systems For Basic Grant, each fiscal contact college creates a minimum of six cost centers—five cost centers linked to the five goals in their plan and one administration cost center Business Office at each consortium fiscal contact college loads its budgets in accordance with its awarded grant dollars into its accounting systems

  12. How State Leadership Dollars are Expended • Intra-agency agreements between system office and colleges • To receive reimbursement: • Colleges invoice system office for expenditures incurred under the agreement • System office reimburses colleges • Colleges reduce their expenditures by the amount paid

  13. How State Leadership Dollars are Expended (cont.) • Perkins IV Agreements for Community and Technical Colleges • To receive reimbursement: • Colleges establish a cost center within leadership G/L and load budget specified within the agreement • Establish a separate cost center for each Perkins Agreement • Access funds using the drawdown expenditure reimbursement process specified for basic grants

  14. Drawdown Expenditure Reimbursement Process Business office at the system office communicates the GL numbers to the colleges College receives notification of award specifyingthe maximum they are authorized to spend College starts spending the budgeted amount within thelimits of the grant requirements charged against theappropriate current year cost centers System office grant accountant checks the Perkins GL’s forall colleges for accumulated expenditures and completes thedraw down from the federal systems to reimburse college System office grant accountant enters a Receipt Wire in SWIFT to ensure the funds are directed to college System office grant accountant sends college notice that funds will be deposited in college’s SWIFT account. College fiscal contact ensures receipt of the funds into the appropriate Perkins cost center in ISRS.

  15. Receipting the Draw Down • Revenue should be receipted with in three business days after notification from the Grant Accountant. • Revenue should be receipted to object code 9401 with a Y Flag • Revenue should be receipted to the cost center where the expense is.

  16. Draw Down Considerations • Grant Accountant will be sending funds for the GL’S that are assigned by the system office. • The system office will not send any funds in excess of the allocated amounts. Even if there is an expense in a cost center.

  17. Year End Considerations • Please record the expense in the correct object code as there will be no opportunity for changes after the fiscal year end closes. • This will result in accurate reporting.

  18. Consortium Monitoring • System office will conduct a fiscal audit and visit as part of consortium monitoring process at six consortia in FY13 • Monitoring visits and fiscal audits at all consortia in FY 10- FY13 • Schedule and procedure: http://www.cte.mnscu.edu/directories/portal.html#Criteria
