Security and Training Update
Learning Objectives:


Understand the new access request forms for Finance and CIW
Understand the new “Fiscal Code of Ethics” training requirement
Effective November 1, 2005, anyone seeking access to any of our financial systems – Finance and Procurement,
Human Resources, Procurement Card, and/or Central Information Warehouse (CIW) -- will need to self-enroll in the
Blackboard course, "Fiscal Code of Ethics Training" (see Blackboard Enrollment ); will need to complete the course -only once regardless of how many systems are to be accessed--; and will need to submit the certification as
noted in the course prior to any access being granted.
For Finance, Human Resources, and CIW, acquiring access is a three-step process:
1. With supervisor’s input, determine systems and access profiles needed
2. Submit the appropriate forms:
o Finance and Procurement: http://www.cusys.edu/security/Form_Financial_System_Access.pdf
o CIW:
http://www.cu.edu/security/CIW_Request_Form.doc
o HR:
http://www.cusys.edu/security/ps/HR_Access_Req.pdf
3. Take online and / or instructor-led training as required
To register for Finance and Procurement training:
For required instructor-led training:
 New operators will need to self-enroll in the instructor-led Finance and Procurement training. Fill out and
submit the form at http://www.uchsc.edu/finance/PS_Registration.htm to do so; training is held at both UCD
and Fitzsimons monthly. (UCDHSC employees and affiliates are welcome to attend at either location).
For required online (Blackboard) training:
 New operators will be automatically enrolled in the Blackboard Financial and Procurement training shortly
(24-48 hours) after your Financial System Access Request Form has been submitted to the Financial System
Access Coordinator.
 New operators, or those who have not yet completed the “Fiscal Code of Ethics” course, will need to selfenroll in the Blackboard Fiscal Code of Ethics Training
Training For CIW access:
For required online (Blackboard) training:
 New operators, or those who have not yet completed the “Fiscal Code of Ethics” course, will need to selfenroll in and complete the Blackboard “Fiscal Code of Ethics Training”. For instructions, see:

Exhibit B
HOW TO DO A COST STUDY
A cost study requires that the total costs involved with performing a service be identified and quantified. These costs
are identified over a certain period of time such as a fiscal year and the volume of goods or services sold over that
same time period are identified. The total identified costs are divided by the total volume of goods or services sold to
determine the cost per occurrence.
Each Service Center will use the budget it develops for the next fiscal year as the basis for its cost study to set the
rates for the next fiscal year. Most Service Centers will have one operating program and one renewal and
replacement program, but offer multiple services. This program information will be helpful in identifying total costs,
but will not provide everything that is needed to perform the cost study. Identifying time spent per service, supplies
used per service, volume of activity, and statistics for allocating indirect costs are examples of information that will
have to be accumulated outside of the accounting system. The estimated sales volume and the billing rates should
be used to determine the budgeted revenue for the service center. If the Service Center provides several different
significant services, the Service Center manager should consider creating separate programs for each activity.
Usually there are two types of costs that need to be included in your rate setting calculation - direct costs and indirect
costs. Direct costs are costs that can be directly identify to the service or goods being provided. Examples of direct
costs are salaries and benefits for those directly providing the service and direct supplies. Indirect costs are costs
that cannot be directly identified to the service provided. Examples of indirect costs include administrative salaries
and benefits, supplies and general administrative recharges and facility allocations.
Unless only one service is provided, both the direct and indirect costs will need to be identified to each of the different
services. This will require determining the time spent on the different tasks for each person and identifying the
supplies used on each activity. This may require an estimate. The indirect costs need to be allocated across the
different services provided so that they are included in the final rates.
There are two primary methods of identifying the direct costs to each service:
1.
The first method, which is called “specific identification,” involves identifying the average time spent by each
person on each individual occurrence of each procedure as well as identifying the average cost of supplies
and average equipment time. This will usually require keeping records for a sample of procedures and
averaging the results. The time increments for labor are converted to dollars based on the hourly pay of the
employees and the time increments for equipment are converted to dollars based on the annual depreciation
and maintenance and repair costs of the equipment. Supply costs should be based on the cost of the most
recent purchase. Depreciation information for equipment is available from the Space and Property
Management section of Finance.
49
2.
The second method of identifying direct costs is called the “gross” method. With this method, costs are
identified over a period of time (usually at least six months). It requires identifying percentages of time that
employees spend with each type of procedure, the percentage of supplies used for each type of procedure
and the percentage of time equipment is used. This method is normally used when there are not many
different procedures and if people, supplies, and equipment can be easily identified to each type of
procedure. The percentages are converted to dollars based on the total salaries and benefits of the
individuals, the total dollars spent on supplies, and the total depreciation and maintenance of equipment.
There are three primary methods that can be used to identify indirect costs:
1.
The first method is to use a percentage mark-up. This method is often used in re-sale operations such as a
bookstore or pharmacy. The total identified indirect costs would be divided by the total identified direct costs
for all tasks performed by the service center. This percentage would then be multiplied times the direct cost
billing rate and the result added to the direct cost billing rate to derive a total rate.
2.
The second method of allocating indirect costs is similar to the percentage mark-up but requires identifying
the total direct costs for each service, derive a percentage relationship to total for each of the direct cost subtotals, and apply these percentages to the total indirect costs. The results are then added to the total direct
costs for each service to calculate a total billing rate.
3.
The third method is to attempt to identify the indirect costs to each service being provided based on some
allocation statistic such as square feet used or time spent. Indirect costs for each service would then be
added to the direct costs to derive a total rate per service.

*Periodic transfers will be made to a Renewal and Replacement program in the Plant Fund for future
equipment acquisitions. These transfers will be based on actual depreciation calculations for existing
equipment, and equipment purchased and put into use during the fiscal year for which the rates are being
calculated.

Adjust for Fund Balance
Adjust total direct and indirect expenses by the projected current year increase or decrease in the 60-day
fund balance limit. In this example, fund balance is projected to increase by $10,000 at the end of this fiscal
year. This means the current year rates generated $10,000 in excess revenue. As a result, the $10,000
needs to be subtracted from the total expenses for each procedure. This is done by allocating the $10,000
across the three procedures based on the percentage relationship of the identified expenses for each
procedure.
