COST CENTER CLOSEOUT PROCEDURES DR. BERNOUSSI ASSOCIATE CONTROLLER 19
COST CENTER CLOSE-OUT NON-GRANTS All requests must be submitted by the Fiscal Officer to Systems Administration. Systems Administration receives additional approvals for restricted gifts for research and plant fund cost centers. Systems Administration verifies there is no current year activity and all ledger balances have a zero balance. If the cost center has current year activity or a fund balance, the cost center is frozen and inactivated the next fiscal year. (A cost center will continue to appear in ARA until the cost center is inactivated) Any remaining fund balances are re-classed to another cost center and ledger balances are zeroed out. Once the remaining fund balance is zeroed out and there is no current year activity, the cost center is inactivated.
COST CENTER CLOSE-OUT GRANTS In order for grant cost centers to be closed-out, all budget deficits must be resolved by transferring out the excess cost. Additionally, any cost identified by the sponsor as unallowable must be transferred to an appropriate cost center. Finally, any costs incurred, posted or transferred into the grant cost center beyond the 45 day adjustment period must be transferred out as reimbursement for these costs cannot be recovered from the sponsor.
COST CENTER CLOSE-OUT GRANTS The OPM team adjusts budgets to actuals and closes the project. Accounting Operations verifies all ledger balances are zeroed out. Systems Administration receives approval from Accounting Operations to inactivate or freeze the cost center. If the cost center has current year activity or a fund balance, the cost center is frozen and inactivated the next fiscal year. (A cost center will continue to appear in ARA until the cost center is inactivated). Once the remaining fund balance is zeroed out and there is no current year activity, the cost center is inactivated.
