19. Process of Fund Set-up • Send email to PI and departmental contact • Cost share companion fund will be set up to correspond with the sponsor fund. The fund will start with 8 and the last five digits will tie to the sponsor fund. • Load sponsor budget and cost share budget into Banner

20. Indirect Cost Rates • Cost Reimbursable Funds • Indirect will be calculated on actual expenditures. • Fixed Price Funds • Indirect will be posted for the budgeted amount if all funds are received. • See Indirect Cost Rates • http://www.controller.msstate.edu/docs/FArate_fy2008.pdf • Important • Be sure to use the Indirect Rate that corresponds to the activity.

21. Invoicing Requirements • Sponsored Programs Accounting will invoice the sponsor based on the terms in the award. • A copy will be sent to the department for their records. • Second Notices will be sent after 45 days past due. A copy will be sent to the department for their records.

22. Cost Share/Match • Review contract for cost share requirements. • All cost share expenditures must be incurred within the cost share fund. • Any cost required to complete the objectives and not covered by the sponsor should be considered cost share. • Use Request for Budget Transfer form

23. Reconciliation and Project Close-Out • Reconcile the restricted fund. The monthly reconciliation should be reviewed by the Principle Investigator. • Sponsored Programs Accounting will prepare a close-out sheet to ensure that all costs are included in the final invoice to the sponsor. This should be reviewed and signed by the budget manager and the PI. • Any charges discovered after the final has been submitted will have to be covered by the department if the sponsor will not accept a revised invoice. If this is discovered after the due date of the final, a revised invoice will not be submitted.

24. Fixed Price and Residual Balance Policy • All direct costs incurred as a result of performing the scope of work must be expensed directly to the project. • If there is a residual balance, prior to any transfers, SP Accounting will: • Recover waived indirect costs up to the federally negotiated rate based on expenditures. • If the residual balance is less than $100, transfer residual to department’s residual fund. • If residual balance exceeds $100, send an email to the department requesting a Certification of Expenditure form.

25. Cost Transfers • Cost transfer is moving a cost from one fund to another. • Cost transfer should be applicable and allowable on the project the expense is being moved to. • Cost transfers should be done as timely as possible. Cost transfers done more than 90 days after the date of the expenditure will have to be explained and may not be allowed. If not allowed the charge will have to be covered by departmental funds.

26. Time and Effort Report • Required per OMB Circular A-21 • Print twice per year for 12 month employees and three times per year for 9 month employees. • If the level of effort is not accurate, then a Job Labor Redistribution Form (JLRF) should be completed and sent to payroll. The Confirmation of Effort report should be changed for each month and a copy of the JLRF attached. • Once the Confirmation of Effort is signed, changes to the effort will require a justification and may not be allowed.

27. Subcontracts • If there is an issue with a subcontract invoice or subcontract, bring it to our attention. • At completion of the subcontract, the Subcontract Close out form will be required to be signed by the subcontractor and Principal Investigator. • Principal Investigator should review and approve subcontract invoices prior to processing.

28. How to Read the Monthly Ledger Report FWREXDP – Detail ledger report FWGDEXP – Summary ledger report Budget from the award is reflected in the Budget column. The Budgeted Revenue is the amount of the award. The budget for expenditure categories are then listed. The realized column is cumulative through the ending posting period selected. The current month column is the period selected.
