Overview

The AE Fund Group Summary Report was introduced to help analyze quarterly balances for auxiliary units based on organization classifications for key income statement and balance sheet balances. The report is designed to be run at a detail, industry, or campus level for executive analysis and decision-making.

The AE Fund Group Summary Report access is limited to Campus designees and RCs that have several auxiliary and/or service units.

How the AE Fund Group Summary Report Works

The AE Fund Group Summary Report displays specific financial balances for reporting and non-reporting auxiliary organizations on a quarterly basis. Users have the option to include variance columns showing the actual to prior year and actual to budget variance percentages.

The report can be run at the detail, industry, and campus level. The detail level does not group the organizations and allows the user to see the organizations in a list format for the Responsibility Center (RC) or campus. The industry level groups the relevant organizations by their specific industry. This also displays industry totals for the particular RC, campus, or university. The final level is the campus level, which groups the organizations by their respective campus.

The AE Fund Group Summary Report is updated using the ASET Org Maintenance Application in IUIE where the report obtains the organizational data displayed. The accuracy of the report is dependent on the specifications input in the ASET Org Maintenance Application. To see current ASET Org Maintenance information, the Auxiliary Organization Information for ASET report can be run in Controller's Office Reporting Tools. The ASET Org Maintenance Application is currently monitored and updated by University Accounting and Reporting Services once a year.

For any updates to the ASET Org Maintenance Application, please complete the ASET Org Maintenance form and send it to uars@iu.edu.
