Perkins IV Operational Handbook, Section III Financial Requirements, p. 24-36 http://www.cte.mnscu.edu/consortia_resources/documents/Operational_Handbook_(4-2-10).pdf http://www.cte.mnscu.edu/consortia_resources/documents/Operational_Handbook_(4-2-10).pdf

11. Why Multiple GL’s? Federal requirements stipulate that each Grant Award activity deliver reports with the following attributes:  Data consistency  Report reproducibility  Clear Audit trail  Ability to create consolidated annual report

12. GL’s Assigned by System Office State fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30. Use of different General Ledgers to ensure full transparency across years: Name FY15 Basic 384151 Reserve 384152 Reallocation Basic384141 Reserve384142

13. Chart of Account Set-up: Business Office at System Office (SO) assigns four GL numbers For Basic Grant, each fiscal contact college creates a minimum of six cost centers—five cost centers linked to the five goals in their plan and one administration cost center SO directs all colleges to use ONLY the assigned GL’s for their accounting systems Business Office at each consortium fiscal contact college loads its budgets in accordance with its awarded grant dollars into its accounting systems

14. Cash Draw Expenditure Reimbursement Process System Office Grant Accountant reviews College Expenditures and draws Perkins funds accordingly System Office Grant Accountant enters the SWIFT Deposit by College System Office Grant Accountant notifies each College the amount of the cash draw/SWIFT deposit; College receipts the cash draw. College loads budgeted amounts into Perkins Grant G/Ls from Consortium Award Notification letter System Office Grant Accountant communicates new Perkins Grant G/Ls at the start of each fiscal year College spends budgeted amounts from Perkins Grant G/Ls

15. Receipting the Cash Draw Revenue should be receipted to a cost center within the G/L where expenditures incurred: Either receipt to each CC where expenditures incurred Or receipt to one CC within the G/L Revenue should be receipted to object code 9401 with a “Y” Flag

16. Cash Draw Considerations Grant Accountant will be sending funds for the GL’S that are assigned by the system office. The system office will not send any funds in excess of the allocated amounts.

17. How State Leadership Dollars are Expended Intra-agency agreement between system office and the receiving college http://www.finance.mnscu.edu/contracts- purchasing/contracts/forms/index.htmlhttp://www.finance.mnscu.edu/contracts- purchasing/contracts/forms/index.html Intra-agency agreement for Temporary Special Assignment of Personnel- http://www.hr.mnscu.edu/intra- agency_agreement/index.htmlhttp://www.hr.mnscu.edu/intra- agency_agreement/index.html In FY15 the System Office will not be issuing Perkins Agreements. We will use Intra-agency agreements.

18. Intra-agency agreements between system office and college http://www.finance.mnscu.edu/contracts-purchasing/contracts/forms/index.html http://www.hr.mnscu.edu/intra-agency_agreement/index.html The college sets up a separate cost center within a NON- PERKINS GL for each intra-agency agreement. To receive reimbursement:  College invoices system office for expenditures incurred under the agreement  System office pays the college  College reduces their expenditures by the amount paid

19. 3.5 Financial Cost Centers 5. Sub-grants GL Sub-grants may be made from one college to another recipient Entity receiving the funds Pays from the source-the Basic GL, Reserve GL, or Reallocated GL Will invoice the fiscal agent for expenses incurred and when received will receipt the funds by crediting Grant Revenue -The entity granting the funds Will pay the invoice and when they pay the invoice they will Debit Grant revenue They will be reimbursed through a system office draw and receipt as a credit to Grant Revenue

20. Year End Considerations The System Office will perform a year end reconciliation of the Perkin’s grant ensuring that all institutions have been reimbursed for all expenses incurred and that there is no overspending. There will be quarterly monitoring of GL balances to ensure each institution is using the proper GL’s.

21. Consortium Monitoring System office will conduct fiscal audit and visits as part of the consortium monitoring process at designated consortia in FY15  Schedule and procedure: http://www.cte.mnscbu.edu/directories/portal.html#Criteria http://www.cte.mnscbu.edu/directories/portal.html#Criteria  Perkins IV Monitoring visits and fiscal audits were conducted at all 26 consortia in FY 10- FY13  Targeted Monitoring visits including desk fiscal audits are being conducted in FY14, FY15 and until Perkins is reauthorized.
