Fiscal Year University of Nevada School of Medicine Self-Supporting Budgets

What is a Self-Supporting Budget?  Self-Supporting Budget: An account that is neither state- (1108/1101) appropriated nor grant-funded (1320/1321)  Self-supporting accounts typically generate revenue through the sale of goods or the provision of services. Since self-supporting accounts are not funded by the state, they depend upon revenues generated or a transfer-in to cover the costs of operation  Self-supporting accounts are often established for a specific purpose so expenses charged to a self supporting account must be directly related to the purpose

Revenue and Expenses  A self-supporting account has both a revenue budget and an expense budget. The revenue and expenditure amounts must balance  Should expenditures in an account appear to be in danger of exceeding revenues, every attempt must be made to reduce expenditures or to charge them against another appropriate revenue source  Any surplus from the annual operation of a self-supporting account carries over from one fiscal year to the next. Unless the account is an administrative department funded by the dean.

When Do I Budget a Self-Supporting Account?  Three Self-Supporting Budget Triggers:  Budgeted Expenditures greater than $25K  Any account with **total budgeted expenditures greater than $25K must be budgeted  Accounts with budgeted expenditures greater than $25K must be approved by the Board of Regents **BUDGET TIP** total budgeted expenditures-excludes Recharge expense objects (29) & (39), Voluntary Transfers Out (VT) and Reserves (79.) All other expense objects are included in the $25K  Position Control Requirements  A budget is required before any wages or salaries can be paid (including temporary labor/student wages.) Don’t forget to budget fringe!

When Do I Budget a Self-Supporting Account?  FUND (first four digits of the account)require a budget  1201, 1202, 1204, 1206, 1208, 1210, 1211, 1212, 1213  1300,1318, 1319  1407, 1504, 1505, 1506  1700, 1701, 1702, 1703, 1708, 1709, 1711, 1712 Once an account is part of a budget required fund, it remains in that fund, even if the activity decreases.

Estimating YE for Current Fiscal Year  Gather financial data from CAIS –  Financial  Standard reports  Organization summary by obj & sub obj  The Current Year Projected Actual expenditures can normally be determined by  ANNUALIZING = Taking a figure covering a period of less than one year and extrapolating it to cover a full one year period. This will give you an estimated year-to-date total. Special circumstances occurring within the department should be considered

Preparing The New Budget  Keep in mind special circumstances occurring within the department when preparing the new budget.  Forecasting Methods  Straight three year average  ($50,000+$75,000+$100,000/3 = $75,000)  Current YTD plus previous year actual $150,000 (current YTD end of February)+ $45,000 (previous year actual March-June) = $195,000  Budget to Projected Revenue  UNSOM final budgets will be uploaded by Planning Budget and Analysis into Advantage based on the information entered into the budget module. As a reminder Budget & Finance does not change your budget information

Payday Shift  Due to the infamous PAYDATE SHIFT: Please remember June 1 – June 30 salaries for non-hourly professionals and graduates will post to accounts in July using fiscal year 2016 dollars  Hourly and classified salaries from June will also post in July rather than Period 13. You must align the PAF’s for this period with the budgets you establish for FY16

Personnel Action Forms (PAFs)  UNSOM professional PAFs generated in July will be based on the data provided on the Comprehensive Position List (CPL) spreadsheet. The CPL is available for your review in CAIS  Human Resources  Look Up Information  Comprehensive Position Listing

Personnel Action Forms (PAFs)  To avoid rejected Personnel Action Forms (PAFs), it is crucial that a budget revision be sent to UNSOM Budget & Finance for changes you make to July 1 PAFs, if the change causes a net increase in total professional salary dollars paid from a specific account  Note: Budget revisions for Sponsored Project accounts should be submitted to Sponsored Projects

Classified Personnel  For classified personnel, if you plan to pay an individual from different accounts, at a different FTE, or with a different salary split than in the June 1-15th pay period please prepare a new PAF in May effective June 16th

CAIS Financial Reports  Useful CAIS/Financial Reports:  Look up Info/Organization – shows function (under activity), whether or not an account is host authorized (under project) & signature authority  Look up Info/Expense Document Images – enter the account number you are budgeting and the month the transaction in question posted  Standard Reports/Organization Summary by Object/Sub-object/No roll up

CAIS Financial Reports  Custom Inquiries/General Ledger: this may help you identify the source account number for all VT In or Out – you may need to look up the transaction number using Documents’ to find the source account number
