  18. FOUNDATION – Cost Center Balances

  19. Foundation – FY19 Accruals • Foundation uses accrual basis method vs. University uses cash basis method • Accrual basis – revenue is recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when consumed • ALL transactions posting in July as FY20 but are identified as FY19 transactions will be accrued • Accruals are posted by Journals and have the descriptions “Accrue FY19…” in Jun-19 and “Rev FY20…” in Jul-19 • The original posting of the transaction in July-19 along with the journal “Rev FY20….” will net to $0 • The journal posting to June-19 will reflect the actual amount of the transaction in the appropriate fiscal year

  20. Foundation – Cost Center Balances 07/01/19 until FY19 Close • WARNING!!!! Proceed With Caution • Cost Center balances will not be correct for Foundation funds if pulling a July-19 Cost Center Balance report beginning 07/01/2019 until FY19 has been closed; 07/19/2019 anticipated closing of FY19. • Why? • Accruals are being backed out of July-19 and posted back to June-19 - Deposits and Expenditures • Earnings will be backdated to 06/30/2019 • Once all accruals are completed and earnings posted, closing entries will be done and balances rolled forward • How to find your balance during the interim time: • Take Jun-19 Cash Balance + Jul-19 Revenue – Jul-19 Expense = Actual Balance at that time
