#314 Board of Directors Reports
Function 

The Board of Directors’ Reports supplement is a series of three different reports.

To setup Balance Sheet/Cost Categories setup visit Balance Sheet/Cost Category Setup 
 
 
Project Financial Report
 
The Project Financial Report lists each project’s total expenditures identifying the budgeted, current month and project total amounts, comparison of actual cost to budget, and the percent of the budget spent. It also lists total receipts for each project and the balance of revenues less expenditures. It is a great presentation of each project’s status since it reflects the contract year.
 
 
Balance Sheet by Category
 
The Balance Sheet by Category allows you to create categories to group and summarize balance sheet accounts. It also takes the reconciling items and prints them under the liability section with the description “Cost Allocation Control”. Normally this amount should be the change in leave liability for the year.

  • With Category Detail - Check this box to have all Balance Sheet GL codes to print under each category.
 

Agencywide R & E by Category
 
The Agencywide R & E by Category allows you to create cost categories to combine specified revenue and expenditure codes. For each category, it lists the budget, current month, year-to-date, and comparison of actual to budget in dollars and percentage.

  • With Category Detail - Check this box to have all GL codes to print under each category.
