N/A c) How much of the unit’s external revenue or internal reimbursement will be devoted towards this effort? N/A *External revenue is generated from products/sales to persons/entities external to the Central community. 6. Did any of the units within the requestor’s division have carry-forward last year? What efforts have been made to reallocate these funds towards this effort? Yes, Small Carry-Forwards Exist, But There Are Restrictions On Use. See Question #7. There Were Minor 'Carry-Forwards' In An Accounting Sense, Meaning Fund Balance In The Local General And Student Activities. However, The Service And Activities (S&A) Funding Is Provided By The S&A Committee For A Specific Purpose. That Purpose Is To Fund The Surc Accounting Office. To Use That Fund Balance To Hire Staff In General Accounting Would Create Issue With The S&A Committee And We Might Be In The Newspaper. The Local General Fund Balance Is Not Cash Available To Spend. It Reflects To The Adjustment To Market Or 'Unrealized Gain' On The University's Investments. Accounting Rules Require An Annual Entry To Make A General Ledger Adjustment. All General Ledger Adjustment Must Be In A Department, So They End Up In The Finance Department. At Some Point Those Might Become 'Realized' And Turned Into Spendable Cash. But The Finance Department Does Not Get The Earnings, They Go To The Departments Of The President, Vps And To Housing And Dining Based On Invested Assets. In Summary, The Finance Department Does Not Have Any Real Savings To Utilize To Fund Staffing. The Finance Department Does Not Have Influence Over The Enterprise Funds Shown On The Table In The F&Ba Powerpoint. They Are Included Here Due To Coding In The Accounting Software, But Do Not Report To The F&Ba Department. 7. How will this allocation affect CWU faculty, staff and students? How will it impact recruitment and retention?
