Fiscal Operations Manual
Section 800: Fiscal Year End Processing
Effective: 01/01/2003
Revised: 12/09/2010

Gift Funds (M’s and some FA).  Gift Funds require a positive cash balance.  Cash received and posted after noon on the last working day in June will be reported in the next fiscal year and will not show as cash (A0901) in the current fiscal year.  Therefore, it is important that gift fund balances are closely watched and that expenditures are not made against those funds unless cash is positive.  

All Mxxxxx funds must have a positive cash balance at the close of period 12.  If there is an overdraft at that time, the expenses will be moved to the unit general funds to clear the negative cash balance.  Reminder – direct payments such as Printing/Mailing, Motor Pool, Telecommunications, and OSU Bookstore process with June 30th or before dates, and because these are JV’s, they immediately affect cash even though the process may be run up to period 12 close (in July).

801-11 Funds with Negative Fund Balances

Fiscal Operations Manual
Section 800: Fiscal Year End Processing
Effective: 01/01/2003

• Negative Designated Operations (05XXXX) Fund Balances: Determine the Fund Balance as of June 30 by using Banner screen FGITBSR.  If the fund balance shows as negative (Debit Balance) and funding is necessary, process a journal voucher that debits the unit general fund index using account code 24901 and credits the designated operating index using account code 09398.
• Negative Service Center (090XXX) Fund Balances: Determine the Fund Balance as of June 30 by using Banner screen FGITBSR.  If the fund balance shows as negative (Debit Balance) and funding is necessary, process a journal voucher that debits the unit general fund index and account code 24902 and credits the service center index using account code 09398.
• Auxiliary Funds (1xxxxx) Fund Balances: Determine the Fund Balance as of June 30th by using Banner screen FWITBSR.  If the fund balance shows as negative (Debit Balance) funding is necessary.  Normally the only source of funding available to Auxiliary Funds is a loan from another Auxiliary Fund.

OSU Foundation Reimbursement Funds: FSxxxx, FExxxx, and 438xxx OSU Foundation reimbursement funds are also considered gifts to the university and must be at a positive fund balance. A receivable from OSUF for late June expenses is accrued with the concurrence of the Foundation that funds are available for payment in July. This accrual is completed by Business Affairs.

Balance Sheet Reconciliation:  General Ledger

Purpose:  The purpose of Balance Sheet Account Code reconciliation is to ensure and demonstrate that:

• The ending balance for a balance sheet account is equal to the total of all supporting detail.
• All amounts in the ending balance are appropriate for that account (for example, an accounts payable item contained in the reconciliation detail list is owed to a vendor).
• The items contained in the detailed list are current items.

All reconciliation detail schedules of Balance Sheet Accounts will be available to the OUS Controller’s Division and the independent auditors of OSU’s Financial Statements to support the reported balances.  The auditors may use them to confirm balances with vendors or customers and subsequent tracing to disbursements or cash deposits in order to verify the reported balances.

Responsibility: See FIS-Ex003-19: Fund Reconciliation Responsibility by Unit for individual unit responsibilities.

Requirement: The following requirements relate to all Balance Sheet Account Code reconciliation for all Fund Groups:

• Prepare a detailed reconciliation for all Balance Sheet Account Codes A1xxx, A2xxx, A3xxx, A5xxx, B03xx, B4xxx, and B5xxx that appear on your specific Fund’s Balance Sheet (i.e. 05XXX, 09XXX, 1XXXX, 9XXXX).  Submit the completed listings to “Office of Business Affairs” by the date specified in the current year’s schedule for Year End Close.
• When preparing this reconciliation only Fund numbers are used in conjunction with account codes beginning with “A” or “B”.  Indexes are not used.  List amounts owed by vendor or person and the date.
• Note: Refundable cash deposits (Account Code B4XXX) for keys, uniforms, telephone, facility rental, plan & specs, etc. are recorded in Fund 001998.
• Exclude:  Do not reconcile Account Codes posted by the SIS Accounts Receivable System.  This is done by the Office of Business Affairs.

BALANCE SHEETS and REPORTS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL FUNDS AS OF JUNE 30 of the current fiscal year. Different fund groups have additional requirements specific to the type of fund involved. In addition to the requirements in this portion of these instructions, be sure to follow the specific instructions for the fund group or groups which apply to your area.
