Contract Balance by Agency • Shows a ‘snapshot’ of your agency’s status though the month you select. • Shows: • Contract Amounts (Zero if “non capped”) • Total expenditures reported to date • Total reimbursements received to date • Any pending payments
Example: Contract Balance “Badger” County’s March 2008 Contract Balance report • Badger County has $35,000 in Regular Expenses to report for April. • Which line(s) should they report on? • What amount(s)?
Agency Contract Detail - Monthly • For the selected month: • Shows Expenditure and Payment data “side by side” • Includes column showing State Uploads/adjustments “Badger” County February:
Monthly Expense Detail Report • Best place to verify if DWD has received and processed your expense report for the month • Summarizes all expenditures reported by your agency for the calendar year
Example: Monthly Exp. Detail In this example, the State upload file has been processed for March, but the CS Agency has not yet filed their report.
Bank Deposit Reconciliation Report • Shows payments sorted: • by deposit date, or • by agency • May take place of audit confirmation • PDF files available for ease of printing
Example: Bank Reconciliation • Default view is ‘by date’
Example: Bank Reconciliation • 2nd tab is ‘by agency’
