To facilitate the need to utilize carryover budgets in a timely fashion there are two options.
The first option is to request a partial budget upload for a single item. This can be accomplished by completing the “Request for Partial Budget Upload” form and submitting it for approval to the College
Business Office and forwarding it to the Budget Director at the District Office.
The second option is to upload a percent of the carryover budget using the “Carryover Budget Upload
Request and Check List” form. It must be completed by the cost center manager or designee and verified by the College Director of Business and Administrative Services. The amount requested can be a percentage of the carryover amount or 100% of the carryover amount. In completing this form the following information must be verified and used to determine the carryover amount.
Current year award amount must be verified.
Time/length of award must allow for funds to be spent passed June 30 th of the current fiscal year.
Estimated expenditures must include all expenses recorded in PROMT, along with any outstanding invoices that need to be paid.
Estimated expenditures must also include any payroll that has not posted to PROMT and any payroll adjustments being requested.
If indirect costs are allowed, the indirect calculation must be reflected in the total expenditures.
Once the balance is calculated and verified, either the budget upload spreadsheet or a budget journal should be completed along with the Carryover Budget Check List and forwarded to the Budget Director at the District Office for review and upload into PROMT.
Carryover budgets cannot be entered into PROMT until the tentative budget has been approved by the board. This approval is usually the last board meeting in June. Calculation can be done and forwarded to the District Office prior to the board’s approval, however, they will not be reflected in the tentative budget. July through September is the time in which the District is closing out all of the prior year activities, there is a year-end calendar developed and distributed outlining the dates in which items are to be completed. Although the dates are usually very similar, please use that calendar to assist in the preparation and planning for your carryover calculations.
Verification after the books are closed:
It is imperative that after the books are closed, that a follow-up is done to verify that the amounts that were uploaded as the carryover are correct.
