WSU Accounting Overview “Basis of Accounting”
Wayne State University’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) principles.
The day-to-day accounting is prepared using fund accounting.
Fund accounting is an accounting and reporting system commonly used by
public colleges and universities to keep track of resources whose use is limited by donors, granting agencies, law, other outside individuals or entities, or by governing boards.
A fund is maintained for each specific purpose.
A fund is a self-balancing “entity” with its own set of accounts, consisting
of assets, liabilities and fund balance (equity).
3
WSU Accounting Overview “Encumbrances”
WSU, like many public institutions, use the encumbrance system to help control expenditures as it relates to budgets. Under this system, the amount of the available balance for a given department is reduced when purchase orders or other commitments are established (i.e. POs. IRBs, Travel, etc.).
Encumbrances are not included with expenses in externally issued financial reports or reported as liabilities because the amounts are not yet owed under the accrual basis.
4
WSU Accounting Overview “Banner”
Banner is the integrated database system used at WSU which includes the following components: Finance, Human Resources, Student, Financial Aid, and Alumni/Development, General.
Banner Finance houses the accounting ledgers, procurement, accounts payable, accounts receivable, endowment, fixed assets, and research accounting.
The core of Banner Finance consists of:
General Ledger which is equivalent to the Balance Sheet
Operating Ledger which is equivalent to the Income Statement
Encumbrance Ledger which is used to reserve against available balances for anticipated expenditures and/or outstanding commitments (purchase orders, Internal Requisition Billings, etc.)
5
FOAPAL Structure - Chart of Accounts WSU’s Chart of Account Structure consists of six elements (FOAPAL):
Fund - Identifies source of funds and represents a self – balancing set of accounts within the general ledger
Organization - Identifies cost centers of the University such as School, College, Division or Department (Examples: Dean of Libraries, School of Medicine, Fiscal Operations)
Account - Identifies the type of financial activity (i.e. asset/liability, expense/revenue, transfer, fund balance)
Program - Identifies the purpose of the transaction (Examples: Instruction, Research)
Activity - Can be used to define separate or unique activities to help refine reporting (limited use currently)
Location - Identifies physical location (used in the Plant Fund only)
The Index is a six character code that serves as a shortcut to a FOAPAL string combination.
6
FOAPAL Structure FOAPAL elements have a hierarchy coding system
used in Banner for classification, budgeting and recording of financial transactions.
Several levels of hierarchy exists for "roll-up" and reporting purposes.
WSU has nine fund groups. Each fund group consists of at least one fund type. A description of the WSU Fund groups and a listing of the fund types and their corresponding numbering sequence are included on slides 8 and 9, respectively.
7
FOAPAL Structure – “Fund” WSU has the following fund groups:
Current Fund Groupings (consists of funds expendable for operating purposes): General Fund - used to account for general operating activities related to academic and instructional programs and their
administration. Principal revenue sources are state appropriations, tuition and indirect cost.
Designated Fund - used to account for funds for specific departments which are not restricted by donors or supporting agencies. Includes organized departmental activities associated with academic programs, salary reimbursements and gifts (not restricted to a specific purpose by donor).
Auxiliary Activities Fund - used to account for revenues and expenses of revenue-producing, substantially self-supporting activities that perform a service for, but are not themselves, educational or general activities.
Independent Operations Fund - used to account for revenues and expenses of separately organized operations that are owned or controlled by the University but are unrelated to, or independent of, the institution’s mission.
Expendable Restricted Fund - is used to account for funds restricted for specific purposes by external parties, contracts, or legislation.
Noncurrent Fund Groupings: Student Loan Fund - is used to account for transactions related to university and federal student loans (excludes activity from
the Direct Loan Program) Plant Fund - used to account for transactions relating to investments in physical properties, indebtedness incurred in the
financing there of and reserves for maintenance, replacement, and unexpended plant fund. Endowment and Related Funds – are used to account for money and investments received where the donor has indicated the
principal be held in perpetuity or the Board of Governors has elected to treat such gifts as endowments, with only the income being expended.
Agency Fund - is used to account for amounts withheld from payroll and amounts held in custody for students, University-
related organizations and others.

A detailed definition of the functional expense categories is included on the following slide.
15
FOAPAL Structure – “Program” Financial Statement Functional Expense Categories
Instruction - Includes expenditures for all activities that are part of the institution’s instruction program. Expenditures for both credit and non-credit activities are reported in this functional category. This function excludes expenditures for academic administration where the primary assignment is administration (i.e., academic deans). However, expenditures for departmental chair, since instruction is still an important role of the administrator, should be included in this category.
Research - Includes all funds expended for activities specifically organized to produce research outcomes and commissioned by an agency either external to the institution or separately budgeted by an organizational unit within the institution. This function does not contain all sponsored programs (such as training grants), nor does it contain sponsored research only, since internally supported research programs should be included in this function. It includes only expenditures for specifically budgeted departmental research.
Public Service - Includes funds budgeted specifically for public service and expended for activities established primarily to provide non-instructional services beneficial to groups external to the institution. Such activities include seminars, projects and various organizational entities established to provide services to particular sections of the community.
Academic Support - Includes expenditures for activities carried out primarily to provide support services that are an integral part of the operations of one of the institution’s three primary programs: instruction, research and public service. It includes the retention, preservation, and display of materials and the provision of services that directly assist the academic functions of the institution. This function includes the media and technology (i.e., computing support) employed by the three primary programs as well as the administrative support operations that function within the various academic units (which includes the development of future instructional activities).
Student Services - Includes all funds expended for admissions, registrar activities, and activities whose primary purpose is to contribute to students’ emotional and physical well-being and to their intellectual, cultural, and social development outside the context of the formal instruction program.
Institutional Support - Includes all funds expended for activities whose primary purpose is to provide operational support for the day-to-day functioning of the institution, excluding expenditures for physical plant operations.
Operation and Maintenance of Plant - Includes all expenditures of current funds for the operation and maintenance of the physical plant, net of amounts charged to auxiliary enterprises. It does not include expenditures made from the Plant Fund. It includes all expenditures for operations established to provide services and maintenance related to campus grounds and facilities including utilities, property insurance, fire protection and similar items.
Scholarships and Fellowships - Includes monies given in the form of outright grants and trainee stipends to individuals enrolled in formal coursework, either for credit or non-credit.
Auxiliary Activities – Includes expenditures relating to the operation of auxiliary enterprises, whether charged directly as expenditures or allocated as a proportionate share of costs of other departments or units.
