Overview & Quick Reference What is a budget? Why do we budget? When do we need to budget? Who prepares a budget? How is a budget built? Page 3
What is a budget? A Budget is a list of planned revenue and expenditures used as a tool for assessing performance and providing for internal management controls. Page 4
Why do we budget? Budgets create a structure for both planning operations (hiring, major equipment purchases, moves, etc.) for the coming year and assessing actual performance throughout the year. Page 5
When do we need to budget? There are three primary ‘budget triggers’: Board of Regent Requirements Position Control Requirements Fund (the first four digits of the account number) Requirements Page 6
Board of Regents requirements Each fiscal year all self-supporting budgets with total budgeted expenditures greater than $25,000 must be approved by the Board of Regents. For budgeting purposes, ‘total budgeted expenditures’ excludes expense objects 39 (recharge), VT (voluntary transfers out) and 79 (reserves). All other expense objects (10,11,12...25,30 and so on) are included in the $25,000. In other words, if the amount on is over $25,000, the budget will be submitted to the Board of Regents. Form 1, Part 2, line 19 Page 7

Position Control requirements A budget must be in the system before any wages or salaries can be paid from expense object codes: 10 (Letter of Appointment with or without benefits) 11 (Professional) 12 (Graduate) 14 (Classified) 15 (Student Wages/Temporary Labor). Remember fringe (obj. 16) must be budgeted Page 9
Fund requirements The following funds require that a budget be in place before any expenditure activity can be processed: 1201, 1202, 1204, 1206, 1208,1210, 1211,1212, 1213,1300,1317,1318, 1319, 1407, 1504, 1505, 1506, 1700,1701, 1702, 1703, 1704, 1705, 1708, 1709, 1711, 1712, 1803 Once an account is part of a budget required fund, it remains in that fund, even if activity decreases below $25,000 per year. Page 10
Fund requirements Continued… The Controller’s Office can only change an account to a budget required fund as part of the ‘fiscal year opening’ procedures. You may request that an account be moved to a ‘budget required’ fund if you find expenditures or encumbrances are frequently occurring before revenues are received. The Budget Office may request that an account be changed to a ‘budget required’ fund if both current year actual expenditures and projected expenditures are > $25,000 or if the trend over the past few years indicates the account will be reportable to the Board of Regents Please remember to change the account numbers on all employment documents and in the comprehensive position lists (via CBE) if the fund is changed to a ‘budget required fund’. Page 11
Who prepares the budget? Preparing an effective budget requires a joint effort between the people responsible for managing the fiscal operations (tracking purchases, making deposits, processing PAFs and budget revisions) and those who understand and manage the non-financial activities giving rise to the account. These non-financial activities include generating the revenues, managing projects, determining when renovations, relocations or equipment replacements will occur. Page 12

Self-Supporting Budget Request Form 2 Forecasting Methods Straight three year average: ($200,000(YR1) + $220,000(YR2) + $215,000(YR3)) / 3 = $211,667 Three year weighted average: ($200,000(YR1) x .5) + ($220,000(YR2) x .3) + ($215,000(YR3) x .2) = $209,000 Current YTD plus previous year actual: $150,000(Current year to date as of end of February) + $45,000(Previous year actual March-June) = $195,000 Current YTD annualized: $150,000 YTD at end of February / 8 months x 12 months = $225,000 Current YTD: Sometimes, revenue/expense occurs in a very compressed time frame so current YTD is a reasonable amount. These are just a few forecasting methods. You may develop one that works well for your particular budget. BACK Page 31
