Official Certificate of Estimated Resources

The September 1st date may be extended by the taxcommissioner for a good cause

Prior to December 31st, the Township must revise the tax budget so that expenditures do not exceed estimated revenue

The official certificate of estimated resources isbased on information in the tax budget

It includes estimated unencumbered fund balancesand estimated revenues for each fund

10

Certificate of Total Amount From All Sources Available for Expenditures, and Balances

The certificate of total amount from all sources availablefor expenditures, and balances must be filed with the county auditor on or about January 1st

It certifies the actual unencumbered fund balances and estimated revenues for each fund (not including any reserve accounts)

The first page is a summary of all funds by fund type and the remaining pages identify the individual funds

The form shows cash balances at December 31st, encumbrances, advances not repaid, carryover balances available for appropriations, total estimated revenues from all sources and total carryover balances plus estimated revenues

11

Amended Official Certificate of Estimated Resources

The amended official certificate of estimated resources will be returned after filing the certificate of total amount from all sources available for expenditures, and balances

Remember to post estimated revenues to the system (or to your receipt ledger, if manual)

Section 5705.36 of the O.R.C. requires that this form will be revised to include actual fund balances at December 31st and any revisions to estimated revenues

12

Page 5: Ohio Auditor of State Accounting for... · Ohio Auditor of State Basic Accounting for Townships Presented by: Christopher S. M cKee LGS Assistant Project Manager Justin W. Sloan LGS

Amended Official Certificate of Estimated Resources

3 Primary Reasons to Request an Amended Certificate

It is determined that revenues to be collected will be greater or less than the amount included in the previous amended certificate of estimated resources

It is determined that revenues to be collected will be greater than previously estimated and it is intended to appropriate and expend the excess revenue

It is determined that revenues to be collected will be less than previously estimated and this deficiency will reduce available resources below the current level of appropriations

13

Appropriation Resolution

Section 5705.38 of the O.R.C. states that the Township must adopt an appropriation measure on or about the first day of the year

A temporary appropriation measure may be passedfor the period of January 1st through March 31st

The permanent annual appropriation measure mustbe passed by April 1st for the period January 1st

through December 31st.

14

Appropriation ResolutionThe appropriation process is a function of the legislative authority of the local government and cannot be delegated The Township must have appropriations adopted

to legally spend money The appropriations are not legal until the

resources are certified by the County Auditor The appropriation resolution may be amended

during the year only by a resolution approved by the Trustees

Remember to post appropriations to the system(or to the appropriations ledger, if manual)

Legal Level of Control• Statutory appropriation level

– Section 5705.38(C), Revised Code• This implies “personal services” and “other”

as the minimum level to be appropriated for each office, department, and division

• Do not change appropriations in the system (at or above your legal level of control) unless approved by Trustees

16

Legal Level of Control• Annual Appropriation Resolution

Example Township

• General Fund• General Government• Administrative• Personal Services $25,000• Other $15,000

Public Safety• Police Protection• Personal Services $50,000• Other $150,000

• Capital Outlay• Personal Services $0 • Other $60,000

• Total General Fund $300,000

17

Lapsing of Appropriations

The unencumbered balance of each appropriation reverts to its respective fund and is available for future appropriations

The encumbered appropriation balance (carry over purchase orders) is carried forward and is not reappropriated

Appropriation Ledger Additional information on the Appropriation

Ledger, and examples, can be found on pages II-37 through II-42 (Appendix II) of the Ohio Township Handbook

19

Encumbrances Commitments for the expenditure of

monies are recorded as the equivalent of expenditures on the budgetary basis

This reserves the portion of the applicable appropriation and maintainslegal compliance

20

Other Budgetary Issues

When short-term notes mature, a new noteis often used to pay off the old note

When this occurs, the payment of theprincipal on the old note and the proceedsof the new note is required to be budgeted

The transaction should not be recorded“net”

21

Page 8: Ohio Auditor of State Accounting for... · Ohio Auditor of State Basic Accounting for Townships Presented by: Christopher S. M cKee LGS Assistant Project Manager Justin W. Sloan LGS

Other Budgetary Issues

Property taxes should be posted gross….not net The property tax revenue (before the county

auditor deductions) should be recorded in total The county auditor deductions should be posted

separately as expenditures

22

Other Budgetary IssuesIn term pay increases

In term pay increases are prohibited by Ohio law.

Senate Bill 296 (132nd General Assembly) provided for an increase in Fiscal Officer and Trustee pay.

This increase is only applicable to those elected or appointed on or after January 1, 2019

1-2 Compliance Requirements: Ohio Rev. Code §§ 5705.41 (D); and 5705.42 - Restriction upon appropriation and expenditure of money – certificate of fiscal officer. Summary of Requirements: The authorization of a bond issue is deemed an appropriation of the proceeds of the bond issue for the purpose for which such bonds were issued. No expenditure shall be made from any bond fund until first authorized by the taxing authority. [Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.41(A)] Similarly, Federal and State grants or loans are “deemed appropriated”6 for such purpose by the taxing authority” as provided by law and shall be recorded as such by the fiscal officer of the subdivision, and is deemed in process of collection [Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.42]. No orders or contracts involving the expenditure of money are to be made unless there is a certificate of the fiscal officer that the amount required for the order or contract has been lawfully appropriated and is in the treasury or in the process of collection7 to the credit of an appropriate fund free from any previous encumbrances. [Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.41(D)(1)]8 9

6 “Deemed an appropriation” under this section means the Federal or State government has already appropriated and established the purpose(s) for which a government can spend monies received from Federal or State grants and loans. The taxing authority cannot deviate from this purpose; the taxing authority can only resolve to spend the money for a purpose already prescribed in a contract, grant agreement, loan agreement, etc. Therefore, Federal and State grants and loans received under Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.42 do not require formal appropriation by the legislative body. In other words, Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.42 effectively eliminates an unnecessary appropriation action by the taxing authority. However, Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.42 directs the fiscal officer to record the appropriation amount “as such” which AOS interprets to be the accounting system* and/or the budgetary statements or footnotes as applicable for their financial reporting framework.in the accounting system. The fiscal officer should also include the appropriated amounts on the (amended) certificate to properly monitor budget versus actual activity. Note: Amounts “deemed appropriated” are subject to inclusion in GAAP budgetary presentations (GASB Cod. 2400.102). The government has no legal authority to spend these resources unless they were either appropriated by the legislative authority or deemed appropriated by the Federal or State government. (2015-1 GASB Implementation Guide Q&A 7.91.14 GASB Cod. 2400.702-14) *NOTE: If the auditee does not record the appropriation amount in the accounting system, but does report in the financial statements and/or footnotes, auditors should consider issuing a management letter comment for the auditee to record in their accounting system. 7 It is permissible to certify a purchase without sufficient cash “in the bank” if a government is reasonably certain cash will be on hand in time to pay the invoice when due (i.e. is “in the process of collection”). For example, the Ohio EMA disburses Homeland Security grants only when the local government certifies to OEMA they have an invoice on hand requiring payment. Since the government will receive OEMA’s cash in time to pay the vendor, the CFO can certify the acquisition even if there is no cash in the fund at the time of the certification. (This assumes there is sufficient appropriation for the payment). 8 Under Ohio Rev. Code §§ 9.10, and 9.11 and 1990 Op. Atty. Gen. No. 90-082, the fiscal officer need not manually sign each certification. Electronic or mechanical signatures are permissible. However, Ohio Rev. Code § 9.10 expressly prohibits using rubber stamp signatures. (We likely would not deem using a rubber stamp to be material noncompliance.) 9 Ohio Rev. Code § 3315.20 permits schools to incur a fund cash deficit in certain circumstances.

If an entity levies taxes, Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.41 applies. However, some entities with taxing authority do not levy taxes. When they do not levy taxes, Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.28(B)(2) permits a comparable, but somewhat streamlined budget process. Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.28(B)(2) requires entities to follow § 5705. 41.10

Per Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.41(D)(3), “Contract” as used in this section excludes current payrolls of regular employees and officers.

Note: See Appendix A-2 of the OCS Implementation Guide for examples of direct charges that do not require a certificate under Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.41(D).

The statute provides the following exceptions to this basic requirement:

Then and Now Certificate: This exception provides that, if the fiscal officer can certify that both at the time that the contract11 or order was made and at the time that he is completing his certification, sufficient funds were available or in the process of collection, to the credit of a proper fund, properly appropriated and free from any previous encumbrance, the taxing authority can authorize the drawing of a warrant. The taxing authority has 30 days from the receipt of such certificate to approve payment by resolution or ordinance. If approval is not made within 30 days, there is no legal liability on the part of the subdivision or taxing district.

Amounts of less than $100 for counties, or less than $3,000 for other political subdivisions, may be paid by the fiscal officer without such affirmation of the taxing authority upon completion of the "then and now" certificate, provided that the expenditure is otherwise lawful. This does not eliminate any otherwise applicable requirement for approval of expenditures by the taxing authority. [Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.41(D)]

Fiscal officers may prepare "blanket" certificates for a sum not exceeding an amount established by resolution or ordinance12 adopted by the members of the legislative authority against any specific line item account over a period not extending13 beyond the end of the current fiscal year. The blanket

10 For conservancy districts, auditors should additionally review the requirements of Ohio Rev. Code § 6101.44 and tailor their compliance testing procedures accordingly, if necessary. For conservancy districts that levy taxes, we should cite to the budgetary requirements contained in Ohio Rev. Code § 6101.44 where they are similar to requirements contained in Ohio Rev. Code Chapter 5705. The more specific requirements contained in Ohio Rev. Code Chapter 6101 trump those contained in Chapter 5705. Auditors should apply the provisions of Ohio Rev. Code Chapter 5705 when Chapter 6101 does not address budgetary restrictions applicable to conservancy districts.

11 1987 Op. Atty. Gen. No. 87-069 concluded that when a government uses Then and Now certificates, they should charge the cost to the appropriation in effect at the time they incurred the obligation. For example, if a calendar-year government orders an item in December 20XX, the government should charge the cost to 20XX appropriations, even if the fiscal officer signs a Then and Now Certificate in January 20XX+1.

12 The governing authority is only required to adopt one ordinance or resolution establishing the dollar limits for blanket certificates. A separate ordinance or resolution approving each individual blanket certificate is not necessary.

13 We interpret the word “extends” in this context as the authority to certify commitments against a regular blanket certificate or super blanket certificate that expires at year end. However, the authority to pay against previously certified commitments continues until all outstanding commitments are paid. (In other words, the government should consider these unpaid year-end commitments similar to other outstanding commitments/encumbrances, and reduce next year’s opening unencumbered balances for these amounts.)

certificates may, but need not, be limited to a specific vendor. Only one blanket certificate may be outstanding at one particular time for any one particular line item14 appropriation.

In addition to regular blanket certificates, a subdivision’s fiscal officer may also issue so-called “super blanket” certificates for any amount for expenditures and contracts from a specific line-item appropriation account in a specified fund for most professional services, fuel, oil, food items and any other specific recurring and reasonably predictable operating expense. This certification is not to extend beyond the fiscal year or, in the case of counties, beyond the quarterly spending plan established by the county commissioners. More than one super blanket certificate may be outstanding at one particular time for a particular line-item appropriation account.

Continuing Contracts to be Performed in Whole or in Part in an Ensuing Fiscal Year: Where a continuing contract is to be performed in whole or in part in an ensuing fiscal year, only the amount required to meet those amounts in the fiscal year in which the contract is made needs to be certified. (1987 Op. Atty. Gen. 87-069)

Per Unit Contracts: Where contracts are entered into on a per unit basis, only the amount estimated to become due in the current fiscal year need be certified. (1987 Op. Atty. Gen. No. 87-069)

Contract or Lease Running Beyond the Termination of the Fiscal Year Made: Pursuant to § 5705.44, Ohio Rev. Code, where a contract or lease runs beyond the termination of the fiscal year in which it is made, only the amount of the obligation maturing in the current fiscal year need be certified. The remaining amount is a fixed charge required to be provided for in the subsequent fiscal year's appropriations as a fixed charge.

Payments made from the earnings of a public utility are exempted from the certification (and encumbering) requirements of Ohio Rev. Code section 5705.41(D). [Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.44 and 1987 Op. Atty. Gen. No. 87- 069] However, these payments are still subject to the requirements of Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.41(B).

The Attorney General, in 1987 Op. Atty. Gen. No. 87-069, has clarified the application of the exceptions set forth above. In summary, he has indicated that:

If a government subject to Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.41(D) enters into a continuing contract under which no goods or services will be delivered during the current fiscal year and payment will not be due until delivery, no amount need be certified as available during the current fiscal year. Pursuant to Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.44, the amount remaining unpaid at the end of a fiscal year to become due in the next fiscal year must be included in the annual appropriation measure for the next fiscal year as a fixed charge.

If under a continuing contract it cannot be determined whether delivery of goods or services and the obligation to make payment will take place in the current or an ensuing fiscal year, the total amount due under the contract must be certified as available during the current year.

If under a continuing contract delivery of goods or services is to occur in the current fiscal year with the obligation to make payment deferred until an ensuing fiscal year, the amount required to meet the obligation for goods or services delivered during the current fiscal year must be certified as available in that fiscal year.

14 There is no additional legal explanation for what “line item appropriation” means in this context; therefore, AOS interprets “line item” to mean accounting line item, which is not necessarily the “legal level of control.”

2018 Ohio Compliance Supplement Direct Laws Section 1-2

12

If a government subject to Ohio Rev. Code § 5705.41(D), enters into a contract that is not a continuing contract, the total amount due under the contract must be certified as available in the fiscal year in which the contract is made, regardless of when delivery of goods or services will be made or when payment will become due. County Commissioner Authorization: A board of county commissioners, by resolution, may exempt purchases of $1,000 or less from the prior certification requirement. The resolution must specify the dollar limit applicable to such purchases and whether it applies to all purchases, is limited to certain classes of purchases, or is limited to specific purchases. The board must notify the county auditor in writing of its intention to adopt such a resolution and the scope of the resolution. The county auditor has 15 days to comment on the resolution before it may be adopted by the board. Where such a resolution has been adopted, any person authorized to make purchases, within 3 business days (or other time limit the commissioners resolve) of making a purchase exempted under the resolution, must file with the county auditor a written or electronic document stating the purpose, amount, appropriation line item and date of the purchase, and the name of the vendor.

In determining how the government ensures compliance, consider the following:

What control procedures address the compliance requirement?

W/P Ref.

• Policies and Procedures Manuals

• Knowledge and Training of personnel

• Tickler Files/Checklists

• Review/Comparison/Recomputations of Purchase Documents

• Budgetary/Purchasing Accounting/Monitoring System

• Legislative and Management Monitoring

• Management’s identification of changes in laws and regulations

• Management’s communication of changes in laws and regulations to employees – Policies and Procedures Manuals

Suggested Audit Procedures - Compliance (Substantive) Tests: 1. Search for material unrecorded liabilities and/or encumbrances at year end. Refer to minutes and

records immediately following the fiscal year cutoff date.

2. During the search for material unrecorded liabilities and/or encumbrances at year end, compare the date of the fiscal certificates with invoice dates, noting whether or not the certificate date precedes the invoice/obligation date and was recorded as an encumbrance in the proper year.

Note: The obligation date may precede the invoice date. If separately identified, use the

obligation date when determining compliance.

2018 Ohio Compliance Supplement Direct Laws Section 1-2

13

If the government does not expect to complete the project in the current year, the remainder of the project must be appropriated immediately in the subsequent year(s).6

3. Inspect a representative number of “regular blanket” certificates outstanding near year end and

determine that: The amount is established by an ordinance or resolution passed by a majority of the legislative

body. (If the legislative authority passed this in the prior years, agree to permanent file documentation.)

They are not dated after the fiscal year end.

They do not exceed the amount the legislative body established.

Only one certificate is outstanding per line item appropriation.

4. For subdivisions using “super blanket” certificates, inspect the certification of the fiscal officer and determine whether: The certificates were for professional services, fuel, oil, food items or any other specific recurring

and reasonably predictable operating expense and,

They do not run beyond the fiscal year (or quarterly spending plan, if a county adopted a plan).

Audit implications (adequacy of the system and controls, and the direct and material effects of non-compliance, effects on the audit opinions and/or footnote disclosures, significant deficiencies/material weaknesses, and management letter comments):

2019 Compensation Charts (updated Jan. 2, 2019)

Compensation adjustments for township officials was amended into Senate Bill 296, which took effect December 27. The bill provides a 1.75% cost of living adjustment (COLA) that begins in 2019 and extends through 2028. Only those township officials that are elected or appointed on or after Jan. 1, 2019 are eligible to receive the increase. The reason that current trustees and fiscal officers are prohibited from takin the increase until their reelection is simple - the Ohio Constitution prohibits such action.

Ohio Constitution, Article II, §20 The general assembly, in cases not provided for in the constitution, shall fix the term of office and the compensation of all officers; but no change therein shall affect the salary of any officer during his existing term, unless the office be abolished.

Per ORC §§505.24 and 507.09, township trustee and fiscal officer salaries are based on the annual budget of the township. If you have any questions about the compensation charts, please do not hesitate to contact the State Association office.
