WHAT’S NEW?Cash Management & Carryover Presented by: Craig Thurman Office of Financial Management Margaret Madigan & Mike Radke Office of School Improvement
Cash Management Rules States are governed by the Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA) a law that regulates the transfer of funds between federal and state government.
The CMIA was enacted primarily for two reasons: 1. To prevent states from drawing down federal funds before they were needed, thus “profiting”. • 2. To prevent the federal government • from making late payments to states, • requiring states to advance their own • funds, thus getting a free “loan”.
Cash Management Rules (cont.) The CMIA is designed to reduce these problems by requiring states to draw down funds only when they have an immediate need for cash, while requiring the federal government to make prompt payments.
Cash Management Funding Techniques • Cash advance. The state draws down funds no more that three days in advance of when it will spend the money. • Reimbursement. The state draws down funds after the state has already paid money for federal program purposes.
Penalties for violating CMIA • Interest • High Risk Determination • Loss of Federal Funds
