Budgeting Overview Why Budget? Budgeting is creating a plan to optimize your financial resources Allows you to determine in advance whether you will have enough money to do what you need to do or would like to do • Prioritizes your spending • Stewards your restricted funds • Informs your reserve requirements • Assesses and monitors short and long term financial sustainability • Communicates your financial status
Budgeting Overview H&S Operating Budget • H&S utilizes a “fund transfer” model • Budget and record “operations” expenses in operating accounts • Transfer funding to operating accounts
Budgeting Overview • Use a common definition of “operations” • Operations include expenditures that: • support research & teaching goals • occur on a regular or periodic basis • are essential to the department’s proper functioning • are managed by the department/program • Operations exclude expenditures that: • support individual faculty’s research • are true one-time expenditures • are funded by grants and contracts
Budgeting Overview • When projecting expenditures consider: • historical data • incremental activities • strategic initiatives • cost rise • When projecting available funding consider: • current year-end funding requirements • Dean’s Office allocations (base, incremental, one-time, commitments) • other transfers in (revenues, gift receipts, endowment payout, external support) • transfers out to other units
BPS Overview • Authority based system • Staff salaries integrated into budget system • Historical information provided as background • Budgeting by PTA • Summary page of expenses where funding is allocated across PTAs • Ability to budget mid-year funding commitments (optional) • Reporting available to assess reasonableness of budget
BPS Overview • Your budget process will be the same as last year • BPS system functionality is the same • BPS has been moved to a new platform (see Release Notes) • Note: New Security Feature – Save Locks • When opening a module, you automatically acquire the “Save Lock” if it is available. This will enable you to save data in the module. • The “Save Lock” status is located in the upper right • If “Save Lock” is unavailable, you can request it by clicking “Aquire Lock” • Finance will consolidate and upload to Tidemark and Oracle

This limitation will not allow a department to initiate the use of OB funding from another department or program to fund their operating budget. If a department should receive funding from another department’s OB, the owning department must initiate the transfer using the Transfer Out sections on a PTA Budget page.
