What is it?
Why complete it?
Who uses it?
A spreadsheet designed for OAA use, required by the provost
To allow for consistent reporting by all Major Business Units (MBU)
OAA uses it to track and project budget & expenditures; it is a ‘thermometer’ of our budget position
Keeping it simple….

Spreadsheet Expense Categories
Original Budget Allocation◦ Information is distributed from the budget office
to the director of academic resources, who forwards to the divisional budget analysts
◦ Divided into various salary, benefits, and OE categories
◦ Includes changes to position inventory, benefits, shifts in departments
◦ This is our base budget allocation
Step-by-step review
Revenue
Roll Forward:◦ Distributed from the University Budget Office
◦ Excess budget approved by the provost or overspent budget balances are ‘rolled’ into the next academic year
◦ NOTE: Excess budget is often scooped and not guaranteed to roll
◦ Overspending results in offset against next academic year’s budget
Step-by-step reviewRevenue
Budget Reductions◦ If budget reduction to base were required, this
line would show which categories were affected by the reduction
◦ Types of reductions: Reduction to base budget. This line is for reductions
that have not yet been applied to base budget but are expected.
Examples for 2011/12: reduction for TFD’s Graduate program phase out and reduction due to ITS reorganization.
Step-by-step review
Revenue
Salary & Benefit Increases:
◦ Examples: Funding for faculty promotions
FERP settlement pay-outs
Step-by-step review
Revenue
Encumbrance Budget:◦ Distributed from the University Budget Office
◦ Encumbrances are unfilled orders – i.e.: a purchase requisition was placed in the prior year and not yet expensed.
◦ The encumbrances move the budget forward; they will count against prior years budget when they post
Step-by-step review
Revenue
Readjustment of Allocations◦ This line is used to move budget between
categories so there is enough budget to cover projected expenses by category.
◦ Examples: Move funds from faculty funding to cover chair
stipend costs (moves from faculty to staff)
Move Supplies & Services budget to cover communications, student assistant, equipment (computer refresh), travel
Step-by-step review
Revenue
Reimbursements◦ Specific types of expected revenue listed in this
section.
◦ Information comes from the OAA, other college offices, and department coordinators (the assigned time information)
◦ Categories include: Faculty Governance Sabbaticals CMC Release Time CFA Representation; Statewide Senate representation Other Colleges reimbursement for use of our faculty
Step-by-step review
Revenue
Augmentations◦ Funding from the president or provost that is given
on a one-time basis to supplement the base budget
◦ Examples: TFD Graduate program. In 2011/12 a reduction to
base budget of $134,000 was taken due to program reduction. To help with the program phase-out year, a $134,000 augment from the provost was provided.
First Street Gallery receives a $24,000 augment to its base budget.
Step-by-step review
Revenue
R/RS Revenue◦ This section shows projected revenue fee
programs; various R and RS program codes
◦ In mid-year updates we use it to show: GWPE: projected earnings above base budget
MSF: projected revenue above base budget
◦ In the year-end budget update, actual R/RS Revenue is reflected in this section (since actual revenue is known at year-end)
Step-by-step review
Revenue
Vacant Position Transfers◦ Changes to positions that are not accurately
reflected in the position inventory.
◦ Examples: New faculty: OAA funds difference between vacant
rate salary & benefit funding and new faculty rate
New FERP Faculty: Half of the faculty’s position funding moves to vacant rate; OAA scoops difference between the half-time faculty rate and vacant rate.
Step-by-step review
Revenue
Cost Recovery◦ This line is used to show revenue from grants and
contracts
◦ Information about grants and contracts should come to the College office
◦ For 2011/12, cost recovery from two grants are reflected in this section
Step-by-step review
Revenue
Department/Program Expenses◦ This information is compiled in the college office
from various sources Salary & Benefit projections: scheduling worksheets,
position inventory data, & other material are referenced when projecting per department expenses
Departmental OE expense projection includes encumbrance & roll forward budgets and is based on several factors, including: Current budget allocation Historical costs Projected costs
Step-by-step review
Expense
R/RS Expenses◦ This information comes from the college office
◦ During yearly updates, this section projects mainly: GWPE (RS002) expenditures
MSF Fee expenditures (RS064)
Expenditures equal to all other R/RS balances
◦ During year-end updates, this sections includes ALL R/RS codes and the expenditures equal account balances. Since R/RS balances will roll, for the purposes of this report they are considered
expended so that their balance will not affect our bottom line projection.
Step-by-step review
Expense
Contingencies◦ We use this section to report:
Reserve budget:$80,000 To help curb historical deficit spending
Sick Leave Replacement budget: $75,000 As funds are committed, the cost is reflected in the
department expenses Dean’s Discretionary budget: $30,000
As funds are committed, the cost is reflected in the department expenses
Step-by-step review
Expense
Cost Recovery ◦ This line is used to show revenue from grants and
contracts as abatements (negative expenses)
◦ When a grant is billed, the revenue is posted as an abatement to offset the cost of the faculty
◦ This section is not used in this spreadsheet.
Step-by-step review
Expense
The final row on the spreadsheet is “balance” This row subtracts projected expenses from
projected revenue per category The far right column, “Total,” reflects any projected
excess or deficit as a result of the proposed budget NOTE that benefit costs are not the college’s
responsibility to cover; therefore any excess or deficit in the benefit category should be removed from the total.
