Learning Objectives - Understand:
1. FY15 Budget Requirements
2. FY15 Budget Template
3. FY 15 Budget Approval Process, Notifications and Timeframe
4. How to Enter a Budget in CSA
5. How to Modify a Budget
- So, let’s get started!
5
Starts with the Community Service Agreement. (We call it the CSA agreement for short). This is the contractual agreement between your entity and DHS. It contains all the requirements, terms and conditions related to receiving the funding from us and performing the requested services.
The budget requirements are found in Article VI of your FY15 CSA Agreement.
6
Who must submit a budget?
“Everyone must submit a budget for all agreements unless you are notified in the exhibits or the program attachments to the contract, that the agreement is exempt from the budgeting requirement.”
So, who do you check with if your agreement is exempt, if you are still uncertain?
It is best to check with your program area or use the email address to confirm exemption. A listing of those point of contacts are found on the last page and on our website in the FY15 FAQs.
7
Where do you enter and submit the FY15 budget?
As in previous years, the budget should be entered and submitted electronically via the CSA web portal. The website address is https://grants.dhs.illinois.gov/gpsecure/gtp.
When are the budgets due?
The budgets are due within 30 days of execution of the CSA Agreement. So, for the majority of our providers, this means that budgets are due by July 31, 2014.
8
When should I hear back that my budget has been reviewed and accepted?
DHS is committed to reviewing all initial budget submissions within sixty business days of receipt of your budget as outlined in Section 6.4 of the CSA agreement.
How will I be notified that my budget has been reviewed?
You will receive an email notification that your budget has been approved or if funding sources are rejected.
9
What happens if I do not submit a budget and it is required?
If you are required to submit a budget and one is not submitted, funding suspension can occur. Obviously we want to avoid this.
10
The budget template for FY15 is the CFR (Consolidated Financial Report). It is the same template that was used last year.
There is a provider demographics page and seven schedules that comprise the budget template. These are:
◦ The Summary Page
◦ The listing of Programs
◦ The Schedule of Program Costs
◦ The Schedule of Program Revenue
◦ The Report of Service Units
◦ The Program Personnel Page
◦ The Program Consultant and Contractual.
11
If you would like an excel “blank” template to work through the various budget scenarios – a blank form can be found in our FY15 Budget FAQs at: http://www.dhs.state.il.us/OneNetLibrary/27896/documents/CFRBudgetBasicFormnoformulas.xls
You will be able to print your budget from the CSA – pdf format.
Your approved FY14 budgets have been copied to the CRV for your use. Also for FY15, a copy will be sent to the CRV upon DHS approval. (Electronic filing cabinet of your budgets with us).
12
Same process as last year. Two tiered approval process. ◦ Programs use a checklist to review your direct costs. They
are checking for CFDA caps and limits, your recommended resources to complete the work, the reasonableness and allowability of your budgeted costs.
◦ Once the program areas are complete, your budget goes to Office of Contract Compliance. We are primarily focused on reviewing the indirect cost allocation.
◦ Per the contract, you will have feedback on your budget submission within 60 days.
13
You will receive email notifications when your budget has been approved or if there is action needed on your part – such as a funding source has been rejected or the amount has changed.
You will want to think about who you would like to receive these emails and set them up as Budget Contacts in the CSA system.
Copies of the actual email notification wording is found in the FY15 Provider Budget Manual.
14
To complete this objective, we will view screen shots of the various steps needed to enter the budget into the CSA. Then we will actually go live to the CSA and demonstrate entering a budget.
