3 1 Purpose of This Manual This manual was written to provide a set of standardized accounting procedures for the administration of Activity Funds for the Mississippi Schools for the Deaf and the Blind. School personnel involved in the handling of these funds should become knowledgeable of the instructions prescribed in this manual. School personnel are placed in a position of trust by parents, students, and stakeholders when funds are placed in their care. Adequate measures to control these funds will assure parents and students that the funds are handled properly. School Activity Accounts may not be used to circumvent established policies, procedures, or controls. School personnel are employees of the Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) and are expected to comply with the rules and regulations found in MDE Employee Policy and Procedures Manual.

4 2 Definition & Responsibility for Activity Funds DEFINITION Activity funds are defined as funds consisting of resources received and held by the school, as trustee, to be expended or invested in accordance with the conditions of the trust. Specifically, they are funds accumulated from the collection of fees, donations, school events and school approved moneyraising activities. Activity funds are used to promote the general welfare of the school and the educational development and morale of all students. The policies on the accepting of donations and contributions from citizens and businesses is that those gifts will be considered unrestricted funds and accounted for as general activity funds unless otherwise restricted by the donor. The activity fund will encompass the care and administration of those activities and functions relating to student and faculty programs. The administrative plan of the fund is that income received for a specific function is disbursed only for that function. RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTIVITY FUNDS A. The school superintendents are responsible for the proper collection, disbursement and control of all school activity fund money relative to the fund in their trust. This responsibility includes the safekeeping, proper accounting and administration of the money in the school, as well as disbursing money for any legal purpose within the guidelines or policies of the fund. The superintendents may designate administrative assistants, business managers, teachers and sponsors to aid with the various functions of the fund.

5 B. Monies raised or collected by a club during a school year should be spent on the students responsible for contributing to the account. Club account balances should not be carried from year to year unless there is a specific goal the club or organization is trying to attain, such as senior prom or senior trips. Sponsors should be advised to spend the vast majority of funds earned during a school year on appropriate student expenses. C. The business office manager is responsible for the management and control of all documents necessary for the operation of the activity fund. The responsibilities include, but are not limited to: 1. Reading and understanding the Mississippi Public School s Accounting Manual and the Mississippi Agency and Accounting Policy and Procedures Manual, 2. Collecting and organizing all forms with appropriate signatures, account names and account numbers for cash receipts, disbursements, transfers, adjustments, and fundraisers. 3. Accurately and promptly preparing bank deposits. 4. Monitoring activity fund accounts to prevent overdrawn balances. Prepare the appropriate transfers when necessary to maintain positive balances. 5. Maintaining accurate and organized activity fund files. Documentation should be filed by month, in chronological order for checks, receipts, transfers and adjustments. 6. Maintaining separate files, by school year, for fundraisers and donations. 7. Developing procedures for School Activity Funds.

6 3 Activity Fund Types There are three basic types of activity funds that are common for both schools. For reporting purposes, the various activity funds are managed in these three fund groups. 1. General Activity Funds are collected or contributed for the benefit of all students (not a specific club or organization) and for limited staff expenses. These funds shall be used to promote the general welfare of each school and the educational development and morale of all students. These unrestricted funds are raised locally at the school or donated to the school and expenditure of these funds must comply with school policy and State regulations. The superintendent, principal and/or account sponsor controls the funds. Superintendents may use these funds to supplement their budgeted state funds. 2. Club Accounts (i.e.; student council, senior class, etc.) Club Accounts consist of money received and held by the school as trustee. Individual student groups raise these funds and their disbursement is controlled by that group as long as the decisions regarding the use of funds do not conflict with school policy and/or legal regulations or restrictions. The basic purpose for the collecting or raising and expending of club funds must be for the direct benefit of the students or for the general benefit of the school. Within this scope, club accounts are to be used to finance activities that supplement the educational curriculum of the school. Fundraising activities shall in general contribute to the educational experience of pupils and shall not conflict with the instructional program. Club account money shall be expended to benefit a bona fide student group that contributed to its accumulation. Fundraising activities should not be for the individual benefit of a student based on sales, but should be equally distributed to the students holding the fundraiser. A bona fide student group is one that has been properly approved by the superintendent and consists of student officers and a faculty sponsor.

7 The sponsor of each school organization is required to ensure that adequate financial records are maintained. These records, which are subject to audit, should include, at a minimum, the following: Monthly Detail General Ledger Report Sponsor s copy of cash receipt forms Sponsor s copy of invoices or disbursement vouchers Minutes of each student meeting which detail, at a minimum, attendees, approval of expenditures, discussion of fundraising activities and approval of financial status. 3. Restricted Accounts These funds contain donations received with restrictions on how they are to be expended. Restricted accounts are to be accounted for as stipulated by the donor for a special purpose. Any balances should be carried forward from year to year until all remaining funds have been disbursed. A restricted account is a spenddown fund, meaning over time money is expended from the fund to support activities and programs inline with the fund s established mission. Under a provision of the Mississippi s Uniform Prudent Management Act (adopted in 2012), a restriction that has become impracticable or wasteful can be modified by notice to the state regulator, wait 60 days, and then, unless the regulator objects, modify the restriction. However, it is possible under the act for the school to modify the purpose of a small restricted gift (less than $25,000) and an old (over 20 years old) without going to court. Any modification to a restricted account must be in a manner consistent with the charitable purposes expressed in the original gift.

M i s s i s s i p p i S c h o o l S f o r t h e D e a f a n d t h e B l i n d Page 10

12 4. Sponsors should take care to select a reputable company for the purchase of fundraising materials. In addition, the sponsor should maintain a good relationship with local vendors by submitting bills to the business office for payment in a timely manner. 5.

M i s s i s s i p p i S c h o o l S f o r t h e D e a f a n d t h e B l i n d Page 11

13 7 Cash Collection Procedures 1. For control purposes there should be at least two people involved in the collecting and depositing of cash. Therefore, all activity fund accounts will have a sponsor separate from the business office. 2. All monies collected will be deposited promptly into the bank account by business manager. 3. Cash from money collections is never to be held and spent on expenses; all disbursements for purchases must be made with a check as a result of a purchase order (PO) or direct pay request (PR). 4. All money collected must be submitted in the same form as collected. A staff member is not to substitute his/her personal check for cash collected. No personal checks are to be cashed from the funds collected. 5. Sponsors are not to take money home or keep it unsecured in classrooms after hours. Funds should be counted by the sponsor, secured in a locked box or bag, and stored in a locked secure cabinet or safe until given to the business office for deposit at the bank. Deposits should be made DAILY. M i s s i s s i p p i S c h o o l S f o r t h e D e a f a n d t h e B l i n d Page 12

14 8 Cash Receipts and Deposits 1. All money collected must have appropriate documentation. The sponsor must provide a listing when receiving collections from multiple individuals and it is necessary to maintain a record of who has paid. Computer generated lists or hand written ledger sheets are acceptable, provided all pertinent information is furnished (date, names, number of items sold, amounts paid, and method of payment.) 2. If it is not feasible to record each individual payee but only the number of each item sold (such as sales at a table, tickets, etc.). The ticket sales form (Supplemental form S3, page 21) will be given to the business manager along with funds collected. 3. Copies of individual receipts used when the purchaser requires a receipt for future reference such as yearbook sales, etc. may be used as backup with deposits. Receipts should be prenumbered and accounted for in a numeric sequence. Copies of the receipts including any voids should backup the deposit. Merely providing the receipt numbers with no other support does not constitute appropriate supporting documentation for collections. 4. The sponsor should count cash collected to ensure the total agrees to the total collections. It is helpful for the sponsor to provide the breakdown of cash by denomination. Amounts should be turned in daily to the business office. 5. The business office manager should count the funds in the presence of the sponsor, for verification. 6. Upon verification of the cash count, the business manager should provide the sponsor with a cash receipt for funds received for deposit. Sponsors should make sure that a receipt is returned to them. If the sponsor fails to receive a receipt or if the amount does not agree to their records, the superintendent should be contacted promptly.

15 9 Disbursements from Activity Funds 1. All disbursements from activity funds should be in compliance with MDE purchasing policies and procedures. Every effort should be made to purchase and disburse funds by means of a purchase order with an approved vendor. Any exceptions must be documented and approved by the Superintendent prior to payment. All questions regarding approved vendors and the purchasing process should be directed to the business office. 2. Advances and reimbursement payments for purchases are discouraged. Reimbursements will require acceptable documentation including vendor s original invoices and/or sales receipts or cash register tapes (Supplemental Form S4, Page 22). Balance due statements, copies, and credit card slips that only show a total are not acceptable because the items do not provide appropriate detail. Employees are prohibited from signing checks made payable to himself/herself. 3. The sponsor should provide the appropriate documentation to the business office when submitting invoices for payment. The original vendor invoice must be submitted. Invoice copies and vendor statements of the balance due are not acceptable forms of documentation. If disbursement is from a club activity account, a copy of the club minutes detailing the approval of purchase, those present and signed by the club president or designee is required. The sponsor will maintain this documentation. 4. Disbursements from restricted fund accounts require superintendent s approval. 5. All requests for payments must be submitted in a timely manner. Late payments to vendors reflect on the entire school and could result in late payment fees or interest charged to the account. Vendors should be paid within 31 days of the later of: the date the goods are received; the date of performance of the service; or the date the invoice is received by the school. M i s s i s s i p p i S c h o o l S f o r t h e D e a f a n d t h e B l i n d Page 14

16 6. All payments are to be made by check. No payments can be made with cash withheld and not deposited into the activity bank account. 7. Payments to employees or payroll advances from activity funds are prohibited. 8. People or companies who are not school employees and are paid for services provided to an activity fund account must be identified as independent contractors.
