Accrual Details
The Financial Services Department continues to strive towards accurate, timely Financial Reporting. In order to achieve this goal, Financial Services is posting a “Quarter 4” Payroll Accrual to accurately capture the payroll expense in the month that it was incurred.
Since Timesheet 2024-027 only covers wages and fringes through June 29, Financial Services will need to “estimate” the portion that would cover the remaining day (June 30) of the Fiscal Year.
For FY24, Financial Services is using the entire Payroll 2024-027 distribution as an accrual amount for 14 days (June 16 through June 29) and using it to estimate 1/14th of Payroll 2024-027, as an accrual amount for the June 30 date, for a total of 15 days. Our office will be booking the expense in June, Fiscal Period 12, and reversing the Accrual in July, Fiscal Period 1, FY25.
The accrual will allow campus departments to calculate total payroll expenditures for the fiscal year.
Fund Information:
Unrestricted Funds: 1111, 1112, 1113, 1116 will be accrued and reversed.
Restricted Funds 1114, 1115, 1253 ** WILL NOT ** be accrued at the Grant ID level, so it should not affect any Grant Summary or Grant Detail Reports. (This is UMBC’s traditional Accrual on these Funds.)
