5 Trust Fund Policy Structure Policy Objective This policy is to provide direction for the establishment and management of CSU funds within the SCO’s “California State University” Trust Fund 0948, in order to comply with all applicable laws, codes and regulations.

6 Trust Fund Policy Structure Policy Statement EC § 89721 provides for the broad delegation of authority for certain monies to be deposited in SCO Fund 0948. In order to provide management, governance and ensure compliance, the CSU has established unique CSU funds… to account for the financial resources collected for a specific purpose. SCO Fund 0948 exists both in the records of the State Controller and in the official records of the CSU.

7 Trust Fund Policy Structure: Authority Authority to establish a CSU fund within SCO Fund 0948 is provided through a “Delegation of Authority” (DOA). Examples: 1. Education Code 2. Budget Act 3. Government Code 4. Financial Aid Regulations 5. Etc… For those categories listed above, a separate Local Trust Agreement is not required.

8 Trust Fund Policy Structure: Authority In the absence of a DOA, a Local Trust Agreement (LTA) must be completed to establish a local trust fund. The CSU funds which require LTA include: CSU #Fund Title 491TF-Special Projects Fund-Special Projects 496TF-Miscellaneous Trust 542TF-Capital Project Management 543TF-Cost Recovery/Reciprocal and Nonreciprocal Campus 544TF-Cost Recovery/Exchange and Non-exchange Aux Orgs/3rd Party 550TF-Restricted Expendable-Capital Projects
