Cost Sharing KFS will be new, but all current CSU policies governing cost sharing still apply
Subcode 5680 v. Budgetary Control FRS ‘removes’ over expenditures at month end Account appears to be within budget FBM reports are confusing Added workload to departments
Subcode 5680 All is not well But it looks OK
Budgetary Control A KFS option that could reduce or eliminate over expenditures For selected accounts only – those with no additional funding from sponsor Applied on an account-by-account basis
Budgetary Control
No more confusing ePrint reports Reduces the dept workload of removing individual transactions that created the over expenditure Potential application for private sponsors considered ‘at risk’ by allowing expenditures only up to the amount of cash received
Indirect Cost FRS Applied to transactions at month end only No true picture of account until month end Difficult to know ‘how much I have left to spend’ KFS Applied as transactions post Account is always up-to- date Balance available shows what is truly left to spend
Indirect Cost Coding is currently ‘under construction’
F&A Splits For now, business as usual
