Flow and Receipt of Funds
Show Slide #3, Flow and Receipt of Funds Instructor Notes: Introduce and explain to students on how to apply the GFEBS Funds Distribution excel spread sheet. Now let’s take a moment to learn about the different levels for formal funds distribution. The budget plan is created referencing levels of formal funds distribution. The budget planning begins at Level 2 in the Army organization. The formal levels of funds distribution are also used for budget distribution. Planning occurs at each level. Prior to the beginning of the Fiscal Year, Congress and the President of the United States agree on the operational budget for all of the U.S. Government departments, including the Department of Defense (DoD). Appropriations are forwarded to the Treasury to create bank accounts that support the appropriations and provide monies required. The Treasury issues warrants to reserve and guarantee funds availability. The Treasury acts as the “Bank” of the U.S. Government. Appropriations are also forwarded to Office of Management and Budget (OMB). OMB determines the portions of the appropriations required by programs and fiscal quarters. Fund appropriations and apportionments are forwarded to DoD. DoD controls the funds for and distributes the funds to the Departments of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps to release the funds for supported programs and services. Funds intended for the Army are allotted to Level 1/Appropriation Sponsors. Level 1/Appropriation Sponsors, in turn allocate the funds to ACOMs, Direct Reporting Units (DRUs), etc. The Treasury issues warrants to reserve and guarantee funds availability. This process is identified as Funds Control. 3

INSTRUCTOR NOTE: FLOW OF FUNDS: The process by which an installation receives its funds is known as the flow of funds. The flow begins with the President initiating the appropriations process by submitting his annual budget for the upcoming fiscal year to Congress. It must be submitted on or before the first Monday in February. (REF: 31 U.S.C.) Congress annually considers several appropriations measures, which provide funding for numerous activities, such as national defense, education, homeland security, crime, and general government operations. These measures are considered by Congress under certain rules and practices, referred to as the congressional appropriations process. This power is granted to Congress under the Constitution, which states, “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” REF: 1 U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 9. Estimated budget for FY2013 is $1.047 trillion The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) apportions funds to departments of the U.S. government. Department of Defense (Dept. 97) funds are sent to the Department of the Army through GFEBS at a level 1 interface. Apportion mean to divide the funds Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA) (level 1) allocates funds to its Funds Centers, including Special Operating Agencies (SOA), General Operating Agencies (GOA), and Army Commands (ACOMs). Allocate mean to give. Earmark-legislative provision or allocate directly approved funds to be spent on special projects, programs, or organizations. The Funds Centers or ACOM/SOA/GOA/DRU, etc (level 2) allot/allow funds to installations and activities. Allotment – portion Allowance – sum for reimbursable expense, a portion is set aside for reimbursable. DoD R Financial Management Regulation Volume 3, Chapter 2 explains, the initial distribution to Military Services and Defense Agencies is the responsibility of Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), Program/Budget (OUSD(C)/PB) for all funds appropriated by Congress or made available through above-threshold reprogrammings and transfers from other Treasury Appropriation Fund Symbol (TAFS). The installations (level 3) distribute funds to activities through GFEBS accompanied with a Funds Authorization Document (FAD). The FAD further breaks down the Funds by Funds Center/Cost Center. Activities(level 4) can further distribute funds to their subordinate units on a Funding Target memorandum. The funding target memorandum is sent down each quarter by Funds Center/Cost Center and Cost Element/Commitment Item. In GFEBS at certain organizations they request funds by using and the funds will be pushed down (if approved) The levels are based on how your organization is set up and the appropriation. This is just a basic model of an organization. For example, if a certain appropriation(s) 2010, 2030 has a specific dollar amount obligated for the project the funds can go from the OMB directly to the specific project.

United States Army Forces Command (FORSCOM), Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), AMC (Army material Command) make up the Army Command), Level 2. Installations – distribute funds on a funding document along with a RDD, Level 3. Sub. Activities – the Resource Distribution Document (RDD) will show a break down of the funding document by Funds Center/Cost Center. For example: the 120th Replacement is a sub act of FT. Jackson, Level 4. Subordinate units – with the information provided on the RDD a Funding Target Memo is sent down quarterly by fund center/cost center and cost element/commitment item. A company is a subordinate unit of 120th Replacement. Note: the red arrow indicate this is where the flow of funds stop. If there is a request of additional funding or a return of funds (rescissions) then the funds process will flow in reverse. Activities can further distribute funds to their subordinate units on a Funding Target memorandum. The funding target memorandum is sent down each quarter by Funds Center/Cost Center and Cost Element/Commitment Item ACOM (TRADOC) (level 2) Installations(FTJ) (level 3) HQDA Level 1 5

Flow and Receipt of Funds/
Funds Management (FM) Fundamentals The FM process area incorporates both budgeting and funds control and/or distribution for General Fund appropriations received by the Army. • Budgeting and Funds Control/Distribution occur in two different areas within GFEBS: - Budgeting occurs in Business Intelligence (BI). - Funds control and distribution occur in Enterprise Central Component (ECC). Show Slide #6 INSTRUCTOR NOTE: GFEBS provides reporting tools in both Business Intelligence (BI) and Enterprise Central Component (ECC) in support of budgeting and funds control and/or Distribution. BI provides unique reporting and planning features, such as: - Data extraction from multiple GFEBS functional modules (e.g., FI, CM, and SC) for inclusion into a single query, report, or graphic analysis. Periodic extracts from ECC and Planning, Programming, Budgeting Business Operating System (PPB BOS) to update BI. • ECC contains functional modules supporting core business processes performed by the Army. - Reports display information in real time. Reports typically provide information focused on a single GFEBS business process area or module at a time. Note: That BI report will have a delay from anywhere between 2 to 24 hours. ECC Report are real times report. 6

FM Fundamentals Funds Control/Distribution is comprised of:
- Receiving the appropriation. - Issuing allocations and authority. - Transferring funds. - Reprogramming funds. - Reviewing account balances. - Controlling the availability of funds. Show Slide #7 Funds Control/Distribution is comprised of: 1. Receiving the appropriation. (Appropriations are forwarded to the Treasury to create bank accounts that support the appropriations and provide monies as required), (Apportion mean to divide the funds), (Money always flow down hill) 2. Issuing allocations and authority. (Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA) (level 1) allocates funds to its Funds Centers) (Allocate mean to give) 3. Transferring funds. (The installations (level 3) distribute (transfer) funds to activities through GFEBS accompanied with a Resource Distribution Document (RDD). (The activities (Level 4) Activities can further distribute (transfer)funds to their subordinate units on a Funding Target memorandum. 4. Reprogramming funds. (Changing the color of money) 5. Reviewing account balances. (checks funds availability in FM prior to posting the Purchase Requisition) 6. Controlling the availability of funds. 7

FM Integration within GFEBS
The FM process area integrates with the other business process areas within GFEBS, such as Spending Chain; Cost Management; Reimbursable; and Property, Plant, and Equipment Show Slide #8 The FM process includes control of Army General Funds that are executed by Global Combat Support System (GCSS)-Army through a interface. Instructor Note: Read the following examples to show how FM integrates with other process area. Example 1: FM approves and distributes the funds for the yearly maintenance budget resulting in General Ledger (GL) updates in Financials. The Maintenance Funding Execution Structure in Property, Plant, & Equipment is updated with the budgeted amount. Example 2: GFEBS checks funds availability in FM prior to posting the Purchase Requisition. Funds commitments and obligations in the Spending Chain automatically update the GL in Financials. Example 3: A sales order, represented by the Reimbursable Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), is created in Reimbursable accompanied by a funded program in FM. 8

METHODS OF FUND DISTRIBUTION
Formal distribution of funds is done on a Funding Authorization Document (FAD) and is subject to the Anti-Deficiency Act Title 31 USC 1517 Informal distribution of funds is made on a Funding Target Memorandum. It is NOT subject to the Anti-Deficiency Act Title 31 but could lead to a Title 31 violation Show Slide #9, and have students turn to page 2, par 2 or the Funds Distribution HO. REF: DODFMR Vol 14, Chapter 2 Methods of Funding - There are two methods of funding. They are formal and informal. - The formal distribution of funds is done on a Funding Authorization Document (FAD). The FAD is subject to the Anti-Deficiency Act Title 31 USC 1517. - The informal distribution of funds is made on a Funding Target Memorandum. It is NOT directly subject to the Anti-Deficiency Act Title 31 but could lead to a Title 31 violation. Note: The Anti-Deficiency Act (ADA) enacted Sep is a legislation enacted by the US Congress to prevent incurring of obligations or the making of expenditures (outlays) in excess of amounts available in appropriations or funds. The ADA prohibits the Federal Government from entering into a contract that is not “fully funded” because doing so would obligate the government in the absence of an appropriation adequate to the needs of the contract. 9

Rescissions Rescissions occur when Congress initially provides funds in an Appropriation Act but later reduces or eliminates what was appropriated previously through a subsequent law. Rescinded funds are documented on a Treasury Warrant. HQDA records the permanent reduction of authority within GFEBS as detailed in the warrant. Show Slide #13 Rescissions occur when Congress initially provides funds in an Appropriation Act but later reduces or eliminates what was appropriated previously through a subsequent law. Rescinded funds are documented on a Treasury Warrant. HQDA records the permanent reduction of authority within GFEBS as detailed in the warrant. 13
14
Rescissions cont. Treasury Warrant Receipts and Journal Voucher (JV)
When HQDA receives the Treasury Warrant, the Funds Execution Controller at HQDA will enter it into GFEBS as a JV to record the posting to cash and the equity to USSGL accounts. A JV is a document that adjusts accounting entries that affect USSGL balances for the Period and Year-End Closing/Reporting processes. Show Slide #14 Treasury Warrant Receipts and Journal Voucher (JV) When HQDA receives the Treasury Warrant, the Funds Execution Controller at HQDA will enter it into GFEBS as a JV to record the posting to cash and the equity to USSGL accounts. A JV is a document that adjusts accounting entries that affect USSGL balances for the Period and Year-End Closing/Reporting processes. Instructor Notes: Explain that these journal entries identify the original budget and include an explanation for the adjustment, including supporting detail. 14

Types of Funding Authorization
Funding Authorization is provided through GFEBS to incur obligation against government funds Direct Obligation Authority Funded Reimbursement Authority Automatic Reimbursement Authority Allows Funding to be Increased by Amount of Orders Received Total Financial Authority Show Slide #15, and have students turn to page 3, par 4 or the Funds Distribution HO. Types of Funding Authorization INSTRUCTOR NOTE: Tell students that there are 3 types of funding authority. They are direct obligation authority (DOA), Funded Reimbursement Authority (FRA) and Automatic Reimbursement Authority (ARA). Your DOA + FRA + ARA = Your Total Financial Authority. 15
16
Direct Obligation Authority (DOA)
Specific Dollar Amount For Mission Activities and Base Operations Quarterly Amount Immediately Available for Obligation Upon Receipt of the Allotment Controlled by Installation Show Slide #16 Direct Obligation Authority (DOA) Direct Obligation Authority (DOA) has a specific dollar amount and is used for mission activities and Base Operations (BASOP’s). DOA is immediately available for obligation at the time of receipt. Funds available are for a specific dollar amount and are controlled by the installation. 16
17
Funded Reimbursement Authority (FRA)
Specific Dollar Amount For Specific Non-Mission Activities Quarterly Amount NOT Immediately Available for Obligation Upon Receipt of Allotment (Placed in a Reserve Account) Controlled by ACOM Show Slide #17 Funded Reimbursement Authority (FRA). Funded Reimbursement Authority (FRA) is for a specific dollar amount. The authority received for non-mission activities (e.g., Foreign Military Sales, Trailer Court Utilities, and Damages to Family Housing). Funds are not immediately available for obligation; they are held in reserve until the revenue producing activities place orders. This reimbursement is controlled at the ACOM level. 17
18
Automatic Reimbursement Authority (ARA)
No Specific Dollar Amount For Specific Non-Mission Activities NOT Immediately Available for Obligation Upon Receipt of the Allotment (Obligation Authority “Generated” Based on Receipt of Order) Controlled by Installation Show Slide #18 Automatic Reimbursement Authority. Automatic Reimbursement Authority (ARA) is the authority to engage in the automatic reimbursement program to temporarily finance support to individuals or non-mission activities. ARA is not immediately available for obligation upon receipt of the allotment (Obligation Authority “Generated” based on receipt of Order). The Automatic Reimbursement is controlled at the installation level. The ARA only approves the authority to engage in automatic reimbursement activities. 18
19
Administrative Limitations
Imposed on the Use of Funds Specific Dollar Amounts May be legal or regulatory Types: Ceiling Floor Target Fence Show Slide #19, and have students turn to page 4, Limitations of the Funds Distribution HO. Administrative Limitations. c. Administrative Limitations. Appropriation managers and sponsors may establish administrative and statutory controls within appropriations. These controls help manage obligations and expenditures of funds. Examples are the ceilings, floors, targets and fences. Ceiling – is an upper limit (maximum) on the cumulative amount of funds which may be obligated for a specific purpose. Floor – is the lowest (minimum) limit of the amount of funds which must be obligated for a specific purpose. The most common floor is the Maintenance of Real Property Facilities (MRPF) floor. Funding for floors not utilized is subject to withdrawal by higher command. Target – a prescribed goal used as a management tool to control resources, budgetary allowance that can be exceeded. Fence – is an administrative fiscal control measure which financial managers utilize to exert functional influence for a particular program. Basically it allows funds to be set aside for obligation only in a particular program and can only be used for the specific purpose intended. 19
