15 Operating Budget Funding The Fin Fund 153 Fund Statement Report is the best source for detailed funding entries During fiscal year-end close we are matching funding by project to expense by project. We no longer are concerned with expense control (budget) figures. 15

17 Operating Budget Funding Reconcile 9/1 Budget to Fund Statement FY 15/16 BPS – Budget Summary/Funding This should equal the OCT-2015 GF transfer on your fund statement by project (use data download to get source PTA data) There are separate OCT-2015 lines for department controlled funding transfers Dean’s Office reconciles Faculty Salary project Reconcile mid-year transfers on Fund Statement Additional fund transfers during the year for mid-year funding commitments or transfers to/from other PTAs 17

18 Year-End Report for OB Actions you should be taking: Review Year End Report for your OB Award to check funding and expense Use the Fin Exp 279 Transaction Detail or OBI Consolidated Expenditure Reporting to check any questions about expenditure details Add any outstanding FY16 commitments from your commitments report to project year-end funding 18
