Comprehensive Budgeting Accurate and complete budgets required in all relevant operating and ancillary funds

(1’s and 2’s) Budgets encouraged in student financial aid and research without grants attached

(3’s and 4’s) • Budgeted at individual CFOAPAL level• Does not have to be tied to prior year• For list of unit funds, refer to Crystal Report 4992

Must budget associated revenue sources (e.g. contracts, internal and external sale of goods/services, interfund transfers)

Fund clean-up and simplification – contact Financial Reporting

Key Principles

Salaries: Units to indicate which positions are funded from envelope

Must be within the 1B -103 grouping (exceptions: Huskie Athletics, Clinical)

For all other salary expenses, the funding source should be identified (fund balance, fee-for-service, recovery, or grant) Not funded from envelope (operating allocation)

Key Principles

Discussion with units as required

Non-salary Budgeting

Resource allocation and detailed budgeting are two separate, yet interrelated, processes

Ongoing operating allocation provided as an “envelope” that supports the core teaching and support activities of the unit Starting point: budget based on 17/18 board approved budget adjusted for

tuition which becomes your base budge for 18/19, upon which your reduction is calculated

Contact IPA for any questions about resource allocation

Envelope Funding

Account 59008 – Operating Allocation - Permanent: is used to provide ongoing envelope funding (operating allocation) to units – breakdown by CFOAPAL Provided on a monthly (1/12) basis; in FAST, budget column shows full-year

amount

Account 59009 – Operating Allocation - Temporary: does not denote envelope funding as it’s not provided on an ongoing basis. This represents centrally-approved incremental funding for specific initiatives for a finite period of time.

Envelope Funding

Allows RCs to review summarized salary and non-salary budget (and actual) information

Salary and Non-Salary Reports• 11718 – Detailed Budget Summary (review report 4992 for list of all funds)• 11727 – Operating and Non-Operating Funds

Non-salary Reports• 5007 – Budget Comparison by Fund• 5008 – Budget Comparison by Organization• 5009 – Budget Comparison by Account
