32. Questions

33. Cost Allocation Process

34. Accounting Systems Cost Allocation is predicated on the premise that organizations maintain an adequate accounting system and accounting records to document costs and support claims.

35. What is “Cost Allocation”? • Cost Allocation is a Process to Determine the “Total Cost” of a “Cost Objective” • Achieved By Distributing or Apportioning Costs to a Benefiting “Cost Objective”… • Using Statistical Data or Metrics that Measure the Usage of a Service or the Relative Benefit Received

36. What is a “Cost Objective”? A “Cost Objective” is a particular award, contract, grant, project, service, or other activity of an organization for which cost data are desired and for which provision is made to accumulate and measure the costs.

37. What is the “Total Cost” of a Cost Objective? “Total Cost” is composed of the sum of the allowabledirect costs and allocableindirect costs, less any applicable credits.

38. Direct Costs Can be identified specifically with a particular final cost objective (i.e., a particular award, service or direct activity) Indirect Costs Incurred for common or joint objectives and cannot be readily identified with a particular final cost objective Total Costs = Direct + Indirect

39. Allocating Indirect Costs Allocation Bases: The methodology or statistical measure by which Indirect Costs are distributed to other benefiting services and/or cost objectives Examples May Include: • Number of Active Employees • Number of Transactions Processed • Square Footage Occupied • Salaries and Wages of Units Supervised • Direct Assignment

40. Cost Allocation Example Copier Example: Three Divisions Utilize • Division A – 12 Staff • Division B – 6 Staff • Division C – 22 Staff

41. Copier Example (continued): How Do We Apportion or Allocate These “Costs” to the Three Divisions? Equal Distribution (i.e., 1/3rd Each) • “Good” Number of Staff Using the Copier • A – 30%, B – 15%, C – 55% • “Better” User Codes- (This is the method which FCADV uses) • Measures Actual Usage of the Copier • “Best”

42. Allowable Costs To Be Allowable, Costs Must Meet the Following General Criteria: • Be “reasonable” for the performance of the award • Be “allocable” to the award under OMB A-122 cost principles • Conform to any limitations or exclusions imposed by OMB A-122 cost principles or in the award as to the types or amount of cost items • Be consistent with policies and procedures that apply uniformly to both federally-financed and other activities of the organization • Be accorded consistent treatment • Be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) • Not be included as a cost or used to meet cost sharing or matching requirements of any other federally-financed program • Be adequately documented

43. Reasonable Costs A Cost is Reasonable if it Meets the Following General Criteria: • Pass prudent person test – it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person under the circumstances prevailing at the time of the decision to incur the costs • Recognized as ordinary and necessary for the operation of the organization or the performance of the award • Constitutes sound business practice, including arms length bargaining, and conforms to the restraints and requirements of Federal and State laws and regulations, and terms and conditions of the award • Prudence exercised in the circumstances considering responsibilities to the organization, its members, employees, clients, public, and Federal Government • Does not significantly deviate from the organization’s established practices

44. Allocable Costs To be Allocable, Costs Must Meet the Following General Criteria: A cost is allocable in accordance with the relative benefits received Treated consistently with other costs incurred for the same purpose in like circumstances and • Incurred specifically for the award (direct relationship), or • Benefits both the award and other work and can be reasonably distributed in proportion to the benefits received, or • Is necessary to the overall operation of the organization and a direct relationship to any particular cost objective cannot be shown Costs allocable to a particular award or cost objective may not be “shifted” to other Federal awards to overcome funding deficiencies, or to avoid restrictions by law or by terms of the award

45. Direct Costs • Direct Costs are those costs that can be identified specifically with a particular final cost objective (i.e., a particular award, project, service, or other direct activity of an organization) • Costs identified specifically with awards are direct costs of the awards and are to be assigned directly to the award • Costs identified specifically with other final cost objectives of the organization are direct costs of those cost objectives and are not to be assigned to other awards directly or indirectly

46. Direct Costs The following are examples of unallowable functions that should not be included in the indirect cost pool but must be treated as direct costs and allocated an equitable share of indirect costs: • Maintenance of membership rolls, subscriptions, publications, or related functions • Providing services and information to members, legislative or administrative bodies, or the public. • Meetings and conferences except those held to conduct the general administration of the organization. • Maintenance, protection, and investment of special funds not used in operation of the organization. • Administration of group benefits on behalf of members or clients, including life and hospital insurance, annuity or retirements plans, financial aid, etc.

47. Indirect Costs • Indirect Costs are those that have been incurred for common or joint objectives and cannot be readily identified with a particular final cost objective • After direct costs have been determined and assigned directly to awards or other work as appropriate, indirect costs are those remaining to be allocated to benefiting cost objectives • A cost may not be allocated to an award as an indirect cost if any other cost incurred for the same purpose, in like circumstances, has been assigned to an award as a direct cost

48. Salaries and Wages Documentation

49. Salaries and Wages Documentation Payroll - Charges to awards for salaries and wages, whether treated as direct costs or indirect costs, will be based on documented payrolls approved by a responsible official of the organization (subparagraph 8.m.(1) of Appendix B to 2 CFR Part 230) Personnel Activity Reports (PARs) – The distribution of salaries and wages to awards must be supported by personnel activity reports (subparagraph 8.m.(1) of Appendix B to 2 CFR Part 230)

50. Personnel Activity Reports (PARs) PARs reflecting the distribution of activity of each employee must be maintained for all staff members (professional and nonprofessionals) whose compensation is charged, in whole or in part, directly to awards. PARs must also be maintained for other employees whose work involves two or more functions or activities in order to support the allocation of indirect costs. (e.g., an employee engaged part-time in indirect cost activities and part-time in a direct function)
