Budget Transfers

Budget Transfers should take place when: Manager perceives there may be insufficient funds

to meet needs of program AND there are excess funds in another account All funds must be kept in balance

Budget Transfers

When completing a budget transfer, the accounts must have the following: Same fund Same location Same user Detailed reason for the transfer

Use ACBL to confirm funds are available for transfer If moving funds out of object codes, board approval is needed Employees are paid regardless of funds available

This does not negate managers’ obligation to assure accounts have funds Ex. Adjunct and Hourly

Budget Transfers
