Department of FinanceFiscal Systems and Consulting Unit Pro Rata/SWCAP Training for Central Service Agencies 2012-13 Plan
Agenda Central Service Agency/Functions Central Service Costs Allocation Definition of Workload Definition of Expenditures Workload and ExpenditureSpreadsheets Data Analysis Transmittal Instructions
Course Objectives To understand: • How to complete workload and expenditure spreadsheets. • CSA/FSCU analysis • Cost Allocation Plan Development • Due dates
Central Service Agency Costs State Administrative Manual Section 8753 Central service costs are those amounts expended by central service departments and the Legislature foroverall administration of state government and for providing centralized services to state departments.These functions are necessary for state operations and are centralized to provide efficient and consistent statewide policy and services.
Central Service Costs Allocation Pro Rata Plan Recovery of central service costs from special and certain non-governmental cost funds Statewide Cost Allocation Plan (SWCAP) Recovery of central service costs from federal funds
Central Service Costs Allocation SWCAP: Allocate costs to departments by function Distribute department’s total allocation to federal fund based on its proportion of total funding Federal fund is only billable fund Pro Rata: Allocate costs to departments by function Distribute department’s total allocation to each fund based on the fund’s proportion of total funding Classify each fund’s cost as billable or nonbillable
Central Service Costs Allocation Obtain workload and expenditure data from the CSAs: Past year (PY) actual workload data Past year actual expenditures (must tie to year-end financial statements) Budget year (BY) estimate expenditures Calculate and distribute CSA costs to state departments based on workload
Central Service Costs Allocation Distribute total departmental allocation Pro Rata – proportionately to all funds in the department based on each fund’s percentage of total departmental funding. SWCAP – proportionately to the federal fund based on its percentage of total departmental funding.
Central Service Costs Allocation (Pro Rata Only) Determine the total allocated to each fund Calculate the total allocation using the departmental allocation for each fund (PY and BY) from Step 3 and the BY estimate from two years ago (PY estimate). PY PY Roll - BY Total Actual Estimate Forward Estimate Allocation – = + =
Central Service Costs Allocation Classify the allocation from Step 4 as billable or nonbillable funds (Pro Rata only) Billable funds: Funded by special revenue sources such as fees, licenses, penalties, assessments, interests, etc. Nonbillable funds: General Fund Federal Funds Special Deposit Fund (SWCAP only federal fund is billable)

Crossover Table • If an agency is not on the crossover table or workload spreadsheet: • Check input • Research organization code • Call us • Place in “other entity”
Expenditure Data • Actual Expenditures (only State Ops): • General Fund (GF) • Central Service Cost Recovery Fund (CSCRF) • Expenditures excluded in plan development: • Reimbursements • Non-central service expenditures • Unallowable costs
Expenditure Data Gross GF and CSCRF Expenditures $ XXXX Less: Non-central service expenditures $ XX Reimbursements XX Unallowable costs (Federal A-87)* XX XXX Net GF and CSCRF Expenditures** $ XXXX * SWCAP only ** Distributed in CSA cost allocation plans
What You Need • Expenditure spreadsheets (actual and estimated) • Expenditure data checklist • Expenditure supporting schedules • Handouts #1and 2 • Federal Circular A-87 unallowable costs • Handout #3
Expenditure Spreadsheets • Expenditure Data Checklist • Actual Expenditures* • Estimated Expenditures* *enter data in white cells only
Federal Requirement(Support Schedule) • Certain CSAs must complete additional financial statements to support actual expenditures (Handouts 1and 2). • Expenditure schedules provide a breakdown of cost items reported in the SWCAP plan.
Federal Adjustment Equipment use allowance (Federal A-87): • Equipment cost over $5,000 (major) • Allowed 6.67 percent of purchase price for capital expenditures • Equipment cost under $5,000 (minor) • Allowed full amount for expenditures
Discussion • Ten percent or less is an acceptable growth rate. • Please explain increases or decreases beyond ten percent.
Your Responsibility • Understand how to measure work activities. • Know impact of re-organizations (e.g., newly created or abolished entities). • Be aware of changes (system, agency codes, etc.). • Check for accuracy/post correctly. • Explain any variances exceeding plus or minus 10 percent. • Send support documentation (with workload spreadsheet) • Call us immediately if workload data submitted needs to be changed.
Transmittal Instructions • The workload spreadsheet must be reviewed and approved by the departmental budget officer. • Departmental budget officer must e-mail completed workload spreadsheet(s) by July 15, 2011. • To: fiproswp@dof.ca.gov • E-mail subject line must include: Function code, “Workload”, and 4 digit department/agency code e.g., F204 – Workload – 0840 (SCO) • Submit as soon as possible.
