COST SHARE Cost share is a part of the project expense NOT paid for by the Agency!
Cost Share on C&G Accounts • Cost Share is tracked using sub-accounts • Sub-accounts can have one of two types: • EX type = regular expense sub-accounts • CS type = cost share sub-accounts • CS sub-accounts need to have an associated departmental account • We call this the “source account” because it is the source of income to cover the cost share expenses.

Cost Share – Monthly Operating Statements • Cost share sub-accounts are listed separately from the main grant account and other expense sub-accounts. • Transfers are separated from revenue and expense. • Departmental “source” accounts show the expense transfers in the regular expense levels and consolidations (i.e., a transfer to cover cost-shared salaries will appear with other salaries paid directly from the departmental account).
