6 CASH RECEIPTS

6.1 Cash Receipts Overview

This section defines the policies of OSRAP and the State Treasurer for proper receipting, depositing and
safeguarding monies received by state agencies. It also establishes guidelines for the receipt and deposit
of:

· Revenues
· Refunds of Expenditures
· Collections against Receivables
· Deferred Revenues

6.1.1 Cash Receipts Policies

The following policies apply when processing Cash Receipts in GFS and are in compliance with Section
372 of R.S. Title 39, Louisiana Revised Statutes:

· The Louisiana Constitution Article VII, Section 9 (A) requires "all monies received by the
State or by any state board, agency, or commission shall be deposited immediately upon
receipt in the State Treasury, except for certain exceptions listed therein."
(NOTE: "Immediately" is defined as "within 24 hours of receipt." The State Treasury
cash management practices requires state-depositing entities to deposit receipts in the
State’s central depository account or designated regional depository accounts. The
depositing agency is responsible for revenue classification in the accounting system.

· Agencies (within Baton Rouge area) should prepare deposits and related materials so they
can be delivered to the State Treasurer’s Office by 1:30 p.m. on the same day of deposit.
This enables the State to get "same day credit" on all deposited items.

· Deposits are first entered into GFS by the State Treasurer utilizing the Deposit Suspense
(DS) document.

· Each agency is responsible for establishing procedures to ensure that all monies received
are properly safeguarded, deposited, and recorded in the State’s accounting system.

· Agency depositing procedures should safeguard the assets and the individuals handling
the money, and provide timely depositing of funds.

· Monies received for refund of expenditures after the August 14 close (Period 13) of the
fiscal year in which the expenditure was made are to be deposited as income not available
to the appropriate fund in the current fiscal year. Exceptions to this may be federal and

DIV. OF ADMINISTRATION AND


STATE TREASURER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL - June 1996 6-1
CASH RECEIPTS ___________________________________________________________________

other revenues that may be carried forward.

· Deferred revenues recorded during the current fiscal year must be reversed and recognized
as revenues at the time the revenues are earned.

· If an agency needs clarification on the proper classification of monies received or if any


provisions of this policy statement conflict with federal regulations contact OSRAP.

· At least one level of agency approval is required for the GFS Cash Receipts (CR)
transaction. Agencies, at their own option, can require up to three levels of approval.

· State agencies must submit a Cash Management Review Board (CMRB) application for
a new bank account on the "Bank Account Set-Up/Change Form" (FORM BANK) to
the State Treasurer if a new bank account or change to an existing bank account is
desired. Applications are reviewed by the CMRB and agencies will be notified of the
CMRB’s decision. If approved, agencies are responsible for setting up the new bank
account or changes to existing bank accounts. The State Treasurer’s Office will establish
the new bank code in GFS and advise the agency.

· The Cash Management Review Board authorizes each state agency to establish checking
accounts for the purpose of issuing checks pursuant to legislative appropriation. The bank
accounts are the responsibility of the state agency. In addition to an appropriation, the
agency must have sufficient budget and cash for the amount of the checks to be written.
If during the course of the fiscal year, the State Treasurer determines that an insufficient
interfund borrowing base exists, then checks funded by General Fund means of financing
will not be processed in excess of the available borrowable resources. The Division of
Administration will release those checks in accordance with a priority order established
by the Division.

· Agencies are responsible for reconciling their own depository bank accounts —————

Account Reconciliation FORM _____ and submitting it to the State Treasurer. on a form
————————————————————————————————
designed by the agency and approved by the State Treasurer.

· All supporting documentation for Cash Receipt (CR) transactions will be maintained at
agency locations. These documents must be retained for three years, either on site or in
the State Records Center according to arrangements made with State Archives.

back the checks/warrants from the Warrant Reconciliation (WREC) table that have not cleared.

Agencies may choose to use the Quick Receipt Input Form (QR) document for classifying revenues instead
of the Cash Receipt (CR) document. This document contains both header and line data on one screen,
thus enabling speedier data entry. It also contains only the "basic" data fields (few optional fields are
included) so that fields not required need not be tabbed over when entering the data, thus saving key
strokes. It can be used in instances where a cash receipt with few fields and only a line or two is needed.
The coding instructions for the Cash Receipt (CR) transaction shown previously should also be used for

6.7 Revenues

6.7.1 Revenues Overview

This section provides a high level overview of policies and procedures for processing revenues in GFS.

Revenues are additions to assets (i.e., cash, accounts receivable, etc.) which do not: (1) increase a
liability; (2) represent the recovery of an expenditure in the current year; (3) result in the cancellation of
a liability; or (4) result in a net decrease of other assets.

In accordance with GAAP, revenues are increases in governmental fund type net current assets from other
than expenditure refunds and residual equity transfers. Under National Council of Government Accounting
(NCGA) Statement 1, general long-term debt proceeds and operating transfers-in are classified as "other
financing sources" rather than revenues. For proprietary fund type, revenues are net total assets from other
than expense refunds, capital contributions, and residual equity transfers. Under Statement 1, operating
transfers-in are classified separately from revenues.

Some examples of Revenue include:

· Taxes
· Registration Fees
· Sale of Permits and Licenses
· Federal Grants
· Contracts
· Leases of State Facilities or Land
· Reimbursement for Direct Services Provided
· Sale of Goods and Services
· Sale of Surplus Vehicles and Equipment

As a state policy, the following criteria will be applied in the accrual of revenues for governmental fund
types of the general and special revenue nature for financial reporting purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting and financial reporting principles. All boards, commissions, departments,
agencies, institutions, and offices within the executive branch of state government shall report financial
activity on a modified accrual accounting basis as follows:

· Revenues associated with the economic activity of a particular fiscal year


must be recognized (accrued) and reported in that fiscal year when:

1. the revenues are collected during the fiscal year to which they are
associated, or
2. the revenues are collected within 45 days after the end of the fiscal year
to which they are associated.

DIV. OF ADMINISTRATION AND


6-36 STATE TREASURER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL - June 1996
CASH RECEIPTS ___________________________________________________________________

· The following revenues may be excluded from accrual requirements:

1. The amount is not material or the cost of attaining the data for accruing
the revenue exceeds the benefits derived from its accrual, according to
the sliding scale included with the "Annual Financial Report " (AFR)
packet each fiscal year. For the State of Louisiana, materiality is
generally defined as: "less than one-half of one percent of the total
estimated revenues of that fund."

2. The amount is not measurable and cannot be reasonably estimated with


an acceptable degree of accuracy.

3. The revenue will not be available (collected) within the fiscal year or
soon enough after the fiscal year end to be used to pay liabilities of that
fiscal year.

· Specified exceptions to the 45-day cut-off rule are as follows:

1. Gas royalties for the month of June when the revenue from this source
is material and predictable or measurable.

2. Natural gas franchise tax due for the quarter ending June 30 of each year
but does not become delinquent until 60 days thereafter.

· Refunds of revenue are to be paid from current year receipts. However,


refunds paid during the 45-day period at the end of each fiscal year which
are attributable to prior year activities must be accumulated separately and
reported as a liability on the appropriate fiscal year-end financial statement.

A return of appropriation is money received that represents the recovery of an expenditure. A return of
appropriation should not be used if collecting money for services provided for others. A return of
appropriation is an exception and not a regular business operation. Federal grants that reimburse for
services are not considered a return of appropriation.

Examples of refunds of expenditures include:

· Reimbursement for merchandise returned to the vendor


· Return of a duplicate or erroneous payment to an outside party

6.8 Interagency Transactions

6.8.1 Interagency Transactions Overview

See the "Payments to Other State Agencies Procedures" (Interagency Journal Voucher - J4 Transaction),
Section 10.7.3.1, for policies and procedures related to processing interagency transactions in GFS.

6.9 Federal Revenues

6.9.1 Federal Revenues Overview

This section defines the policies of the State Treasurer and OSRAP for federal revenue received directly
from the federal government, federal revenue transferred between state agencies, and federal revenue
received through local governments or outside agencies. Policies and procedures relating to the Cash
Management Improvement Act of 1990, found in the "Federal Cash Management Improvement Act
(CMIA)" chapter of this manual, should be read in conjunction with this section. (See Section 15.3.)

The Federal Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA) requires states to record the date that a request
for federal funds is made and also the date that federal funds are received as cash in a state banking
account. This must be tracked by administrative and program costs for each federal program.

For more information on CMIA, see the "Federal Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA)" and
"Grant Accounting" chapters of this manual.

Federal revenue, in most cases, is recognized when federal monies are deposited and classified. (Further
details are in the "Accounting for Federal Revenue at Fiscal Year-end" policies in this section of this
manual.) For example, if state money is expended or expenditures are accrued for a federal reimbursable
program, the amount billable to the federal government at fiscal year-end is recorded as federal revenue.
If federal revenue is collected in advance of the qualifying expenditure, the amount in excess of the
qualifying expenditures at year-end is set up as deferred revenue.

6.9.2 Federal Revenue Terminology

The following terms are used to describe Federal Revenue:

Federal Drawdowns

The process an agency goes through to request funds from a federal agency. This is usually done through
an electronic linking system to the federal government, but there are other methods to make request for
federal funds. The funds are later received by electronic transfer or by check.

Revenue Provider Code

Number code in GFS used to identify any person, organization, or entity that owes or pays money to the
State of Louisiana. It will be used to identify individual letters of credit if they are used to make federal
drawdowns. If letters of credit are not used to make federal drawdowns, then a revenue provider code
will be used to identify the federal agency from which the funds are being received.

Reporting Category

In GFS, the Reporting Category field can be used to link accounting transactions to a specific federal grant
in the Grant Accounting subsystem. Reporting categories are discussed in detail in the Reporting Category
(RPTG) table section (2.4.33), and in the Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA) Use of Reporting
Categories section (15.10.1) of this manual.

Deposit Suspense (DS) Transaction

In GFS, the Deposit Suspense (DS) transaction is used to record deposits made to a suspense account until
the State Treasurer verifies that the physical cash has been received. A field within the D/S document is
used to identify federal funds.

Cash Receipts Transaction

In GFS, the Cash Receipt (CR) transaction is used to classify all monies collected by the State of
Louisiana to ——————————————————————————————————————
. If it is linked to an Advanced Receivable (A/R) Invoice billing, it will record the cash
received and reverse the accounts receivable amounts recorded originally on the A/R Invoice. Otherwise,
———————————————————————————————————————————
it records
—————record the cash received and the revenue amount.

DIV. OF ADMINISTRATION AND


STATE TREASURER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL - June 1996 6-41
CASH RECEIPTS ___________________________________________________________________

Primary Recipient

Refers to the agency receiving federal funds and that is held accountable by the federal government for
its use or expenditure. Accountability includes responsibility for reporting to the federal government,
monitoring compliance with federal guidelines, and state budget accountability. The primary recipient
generally is the agency that initiates the federal grant and receives the federal funds directly from the
federal government.

Refunds

Refunds represent a recovery of funds previously paid out for federal program purposes. These
transactions (such as canceled or returned checks, overpayment, duplicate payments, checks recovered
from ineligible recipients, etc.) must be handled separately, if less than $10,000, for the Cash Management
Improvement Act (CMIA). (All refund transactions of less than $10,000 are not subject to the CMIA
interest liability provisions even though they still must be tracked separately.)

6.9.3 Federal Revenue Policies

The following policies apply when processing Federal Revenue:

· Agencies receiving federal funds through the federal drawdown process will
be required to estimate those revenues on an annual basis. Agencies will be
allowed to warrant against estimated revenues for CMIA-related grants in the
same fashion as warrants against the General Fund.

· Agencies must establish the date when the wire transfer transaction was
initiated and complete a Deposit Suspense (DS) document. The DS
transaction should be entered the day the request for funds is made for the
amount related to the check clearance pattern.

· It is recommended that each federal grant use at least two reporting


categories to classify drawdowns on Cash Receipt (CR) transactions, unless
that grant does not cover both program and administration costs.

· When federal funds are received in the State Treasurer’s cash account, the
State Treasurer will verify that the funds were received,and process a DS
Document to set the Deposit on the Open Deposit Items (ODIT) Table. and——
verify the deposit on the Open Deposit Items (ODIT) table Agencies will
—————————————————————————.
then prepare a Cash Receipt Input Form (CR) transaction to record the cash
and classify the revenues on that date.

· All revenue collected directly from the federal government as federal revenue
must be recorded in the proper revenue source.

· Federal revenue received directly from the federal government by one state
agency, as the primary recipient, and is then transferred to another state
agency should be recorded as follows (detailed procedures are in the Transfer
of Federal Funds policy in this section of this manual):

- The agency that receives the funds (the primary recipient) from the
federal government should record it as a revenue using the proper
revenue source, and then when transferring it to another agency, record
the transfer using an expenditure object.

- The agency receiving the funds from the primary recipient should record
the transfer using a revenue source.

DIV. OF ADMINISTRATION AND


STATE TREASURER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL - June 1996 6-43
CASH RECEIPTS ___________________________________________________________________

· Record revenue received from local governments or other agencies outside


the state government used to carry out federally funded programs as agency
collections. Use revenue source, 1105 - Non-Federal Receipts - Other-
Local and Other Funds.

NOTE: In the instance described above, the State is a sub-recipient of


federal funds and is responsible for reporting this information to the federal
government through the single audit report.

· Pass-through funds are funds passed through a state agency to a non-state


entity (Detailed procedures for handling pass-through funds are in the
"Receipt of Federal Funds" procedures section of this manual. See Section
6.10.2. Record federal funds that meet the definition of pass-through funds
as a revenue source when received and expenditure object when passed on
or expended. Policies and the criteria that must be met to qualify as pass-
through funds are in the "Pass-Through Funds" policies in this section of this
manual. See Section 6.11.2.

· Federal revenue that is earned but not collected will be reported as accounts
receivable at fiscal year-end. Federal revenues that have been collected but
not earned will be recorded as deferred revenue at fiscal year-end.

· Refunds of federal funds expended will be accounted for by agencies as a


refund of expenditure on a Cash Receipt (CR) transaction. Agencies must
use the appropriate expenditure reporting category to reduce the amount of
expenditures charged to the appropriate grant in the Grant Accounting
subsystem or as revenue to be used in lieu of federal funds. This will result
in a reduction in the next federal drawdown by the amount received as
refunds or as a refund to the federal government. See the "Refund of
Federal Funds" policies in this section of this manual. See Section 6.10.5.1.

6.10 Receipt of Federal Funds

6.10.1 Receipt of Federal Funds Overview

This section provides policies that must be applied when requesting federal funds, depositing, recording
the revenue and the date federal funds are requested, recording the cash receipt and the date the cash is
received.

The State’s General Fund appropriations allocate major state revenues collected in the current fiscal year.
However, the revenues do not come into the State at the same rate as expenditures are being made by the
state agencies. This means cash is not always available for appropriations until major state revenues are
received. Therefore, even if payments of General Fund appropriations to the state agencies need to be
spread throughout the year to match the state agencies’ spending patterns, we may need to consider the
constraints of state revenue cash flows.

6.10.2 Receipt of Federal Funds Policies

The following policies apply to the receipt of federal funds in GFS:

For agencies inside and outside Baton Rouge:

· Agencies will send the State Treasurer’s Office a "Deposit Ticket Form"
(FORM DT) with a note written at the top of the form, indicating that the
attached "Deposit Ticket Form" (FORM DT) represents a Federal Draw
Down.

· The State Treasurer’s Office will input the Deposit Suspense (DS) document
into GFS when the depository bank acknowledges receipt of federal funds,
and ————————————Y
sets the "Verify" flag to "—————approve
" (Yes). and process the DS
Document.

· Agencies will classify federal receipts to appropriate revenue sources.

· For accounts receivable for uncollected federal


revenue, follow procedures distributed by OSRAP
with the "Closing Packages."

· For deferred revenue for federal funds, update


agency financial statements (Statement A Balance
Sheet) with recording of liability. A deferred
revenue is federal funds that were received prior to
the fiscal year-end for which the expenditure will
not be incurred until the next fiscal year.

OSRAP Sets up deferred revenues, for the forms submitted with the closing packages,
in GFS using a Journal Voucher (JV) transaction.

6.11 Pass-Through Funds

6.11.1 Pass-Through Funds Overview

This section provides information on Pass-Through funds. It provides information on:

· Clarifying what funds should be classified as pass-through funds.

· Complying with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) by


segregating Pass-Through Funds (as defined below) in the State’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR).

· Defining OSRAP policy in regards to Pass-Through Funds that will be coded


to federal Means-of-Financing (MOF) appropriations.

Pass-through funds are defined as:

· Funds received from sources outside of state government such a the federal
government, associations of governments, private contributions, etc.

· Funds received by a state agency acting as the collecting or receiving agent.

· Funds received by a state agency having no authority to contract for or


expend the funds. The State’s only authority is to record or account for the
funds and transfer the funds to the recipient who will expend the funds.

· Funds transferred from the State to the recipient who expends the funds. The
recipient may be any entity outside the State’s fund groups (local
governments, school districts, private organizations, association of
governments, etc.) which has been given legal or contractual authority to
expend the funds.

· Funds are pass-through from the State intact with no additional rules,
regulations, instructions, terms, or requirements made by the State to the
recipient or as to how the funds are to be spent. The only requirements as
to the use of the funds would come from the outside source/grantor (federal
government, private contributor, etc.).

· Funds may be considered pass-through even if the State continues to provide


accounting services to monitor the use of the funds.
