CSU Operating FundReserves vs Budget Balance Available Legal Basis Reporting Workshop May 19, 2008
CSU Fund 485 – Operating Fund Reserve Requirements • Entire fund balance in the CSU Operating Fund (485) will be reserved via a “pre-closing” year-end entry • FIRMS Object Codes: • 304018 – Reserve for Encumbrance • Sam 6 Encumbrance Totals • 304016 – Fund Balance Designated • 304015 – Fund Balance Undesignated • 304099 – Offset (all 304 accounts must net to zero, 304099 should equal Fund Equity)
Campus Unique Accounts • Campuses can establish multiple reserve/designation accounts for management purposes • Example: • Mapped to 304016 - Designated • 304800 – Designated for Divisions • 304801 – Designated for University • Mapped to 304015 - Undesignated • 304802 – Unallocated Campus Designation
Transition Year - New Activities Within CSU Fund 485 – CSU Operating Fund • User Fees • Activity previously accounted for in CSU Fund 467 – Student Fees • Miscellaneous Course Fees • Health Services • Augmented Health Services • Investment Activity related to CSU Fund 485
Using New FNAT keys • Separate FNAT Keys REQUIRE separate PeopleSoft Funds • SAM 6 will subtotal based on the FNAT Keys • SAM 6 will show the summarized net income by FNAT key • Can be used to determine reserve entry
Sample SAM 6 FIRM Project Value display in the Section Header SAM 6 Sub-totals based on the FIRMS Project Value (net income that will close to reserve)
How much money is left? • Budget reconciles to accounting data • Both Budget and Accounting should agree on the carry forward balance • Campus needs to develop its process for managing carry forward balances
Now you agree on the total… • Reserve entries are based on management’s plans for spending • Carry Forward to Divisions/Departments • Carry Forward for Centrally maintained budgets • Carry Forward for Encumbrances • Unallocated Funds • Etc • Budget Balance Available is used to determine the “owner” and/or classification of reserves
Revenue • Revenue Balances are usually centrally maintained by the campus • “Unscheduled” balances at year end will be part of the total equity amount that needs to be reserved • For ease of identification, all revenues could be fully allocated so that the budget balance available for all revenues is zero • By default, all funds will be identified based on the BBA within the expenditure budget
Cal Poly Sam 6 @ June 30, 2007 – all revenues are fully scheduled
Reserve in the non-operating funds • Could reserve all equity in 304016 Designated Balances • If this is your choice, you could create an allocation to do the reserve entry in these funds
