Introduction• Purpose/Definition• Submit the Calculation to: DHHS Cognizant Agency• Frequency: F&A Calculation occurs every 3-4 years• Types of Calculations: Short Form Schools vs. Long Form Schools• Note Disclosure Requirements: DS-2-Defines accounting rules• TAMU-CT Base year will be 2020

Base Year 2021-4 Calculations: College Station based members, TAMUCC, TAMUT, and TAMUSA

Purpose• When A&M members apply for grants there are direct costs

and indirect costsoDirect-cost of providing the grant, i.e. PI’s salaries, cost

needed to complete the testing..beakers, test strips, etc.oIndirect-utility cost in the lab space, depreciation on

equipment, administration team costs to pay bills, receive deposits…and sponsored research team needed to ensure we are incompliance with the grant requirements

• The federal government acknowledges indirect costs are important and allows each institution to calculate an indirect cost rate which will be used to recover for facilities and administration costs

Polling Question #6• Have you ever worked with F&A (indirect cost rates) before?

a. Yesb. Noc. Not directly but indirectlyd. Not sure

Page 8: The Texas A&M University System Annual Financial ......1 The Texas A&M University System Annual Financial Reporting WebEx Meeting • Welcome to the meeting • The presentation will

Define F&A Calculation• What is it?oIndirect (F&A) costs means those costs incurred for a common or

joint purpose benefitting more than one cost objective, and not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved.

oRates by Function: Organized Research, Instruction & Dept. Research, Other Sponsored Activities (all others not considered OR and Instruction), and Other Institutional Activities (bookstore, dining hall)

5

Page 9: The Texas A&M University System Annual Financial ......1 The Texas A&M University System Annual Financial Reporting WebEx Meeting • Welcome to the meeting • The presentation will

Location & Calculation for IDC Recoveries• Rates by Location: oOn-Campus-facilities are owned by the member, oOff-Campus-facilities not owned by the member AND rent is directly allocated to

the project (rates are lower since the facility costs are removed)

• Indirect Cost Calculation: A Base Amount is determined by adding together all direct costs (-) minus any items which are exempt from IDC costs (Base Amount) x (Indirect Cost Rate) = Total Indirect Costs Recoveries

6

Page 10: The Texas A&M University System Annual Financial ......1 The Texas A&M University System Annual Financial Reporting WebEx Meeting • Welcome to the meeting • The presentation will

Developing the Calculation• Formula: Facilities Costs plus Administration Costs divided by

Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC) (for each type of program: Organized Research, Instruction, Other Sponsored Activities)oFacilities Costs-building/equipment depreciation, Operation and Maintenance

costs, library, interest on debt for buildingsoAdministration Costs-salaries of administrators, departmental accounting,

sponsored research experts…capped at 26%oMTDC-salaries, benefits, materials/supplies, services, travel, sub-grants first

$25koExcluded costs: capital equipment, sub-grants>first $25k, rent of off-site

facilities, scholarships, fellowships

Formula• Numerator: Facilities Costs Plus Administration Costs (allocated to

federal programs using a defined methodology)oTotal facility costs and allowed administration costs multiplied percentages of

square footage, FTE, and/or lab space (space survey completed)

• Denominator: All MTDC Costs(defined on the accounts)oDerived from the NACUBO function or the effort codeFor Research use Direct Organized Research and Cost Share Organized Research or Instruction use Direct Instruction, Cost Share Instruction, Direct Departmental

ResearchFor Other Sponsored Activities use Direct Other Sponsored Activities, Cost Share

CRIS Software Members • Currently we have 2 proposals calculated in the CRIS Software which is

supported through the Maximus firm• Monica Poehl and Tori Smejkal have worked with this software for several

years…work with the members and Jim Nolan• Jim Nolan from Federal Costing Concepts calculates the majority of the

proposals..Monica will download files after the AFR review is completed• College Station Based Memberso Also use the Space Software module to allocate facilities costs by using lab space

• PVAMUo Continue to use the S&W/function to allocated facilities costs

Example and Unallowed Costs• TAMUCC Example: oFacilities Costs $3 million divided by $17 million 18%oAdmin Costs $9 million divided by $17 million 53%, capped at 26%oF&A Calculated (proposed) rate 44% (18+26); approved rate 37%

• Unallowed CostsoRemoved from the Numerator or Denominator…derived from the object codeoExcluded costs: capital equipment, sub-grants>first $25k, rent of off-site

facilities, scholarships, fellowships

Accurate Coding• Coding of our Accounts is critical to the success of the F&A calculationoFunction=Restricted, Instruction, oEffort Code=Organized Research, Cost Share, Instruction, Other Sponsored

Activities

• Coding of object codes is criticaloObject Codes are included or excluded based upon the type of expenseoAutomatic Budget Rules (ABRs) are setup accuratelyoDepartments code vouchers accurately, Accounts Payable auditors approve the

object codes, grant team ensure allowed expenses are assigned to accounts

13

Page 17: The Texas A&M University System Annual Financial ......1 The Texas A&M University System Annual Financial Reporting WebEx Meeting • Welcome to the meeting • The presentation will

Cost Sharing• Cost Sharing is a requirement the department agrees to in order to

provide the sponsor with assurances the department will spend additional efforts on the program

• Cost Share does impact the F&A RateoAs we increase cost share; we reduce (water-down) the rate

• Cost Share usually does not come with any additional funding from the Sponsor

• Recommend talking with grant team, VPR’s Office, SPR teams if the cost share continues to rise, reviewing the methodology is important

14

Short Form Schools• Per 2 CFR Appendix III to Part 20 Section D, the Short Form method is

available to members that have $10M or less of sponsored direct costs• When analyzing whether a member qualifies for this method, we calculate a

AFR Reports – Getting to the Details• How to identify the detail of what’s included in a specific amount on AFR

report?1. Use a business objects query (probably the easiest)2. View Report definition details on AFR module screens

175 – Column definitions 179 – Row definitions

o If report has pre-requisites, may have to look at underlying schedule to see detail For example, view reports IV-3 or IV-3-A to see the codes used for operating expenses reported

on IV-Fund

3. Use online object code database to view subcodes
