RATIONALE: |
To provide guidance on when a transfer of funds (TF) document is permitted within a recharge/service center 66* account. |
|
RSOP: |
Transfers In The recharge/service center 66* account can receive a subsidy through a transfer of funds document to help cover expenses, however, any excess subsidy will not be allowed to be transferred out of that 66* account. Once funds have been transferred into a recharge/service 66* account, they cannot be transferred out for any reason other than what is cited below in the Transfer Out section.
Transfers Out With the exception of a transfer out of depreciation to the dedicated renewal and replacement 92* account, transfers out of a recharge/service 66* account are not allowed.
Recharge/service center units that have capital assets should annually transfer out cash in the amount equal to or less than their depreciation expense. This transaction is conducted using a transfer of funds document from the 66* account to the 92* account and the intent is to fund future capital purchases. Please include a detailed description on the KFS Transfer document that includes the depreciation period (i.e., “Transferring depreciation expense for FY 2015”).
Recharge/service center units that have debt service should contact cost accounting.
Any exceptions to this standard operating procedure require the approval of the Chief Accountant or Controller. |
