RCM Budget Model Update
The Shadow Year Begins
The three temporary implementation committees, originally established as part of the budget governance structure, have been meeting since August. The three temporary committees are :
Budget Implementation Committee Budget Systems and Reporting Workgroup Communication Workgroup
The purpose of these committees is to discuss budget model specifics that were either not addressed during the original design phase, or needed to be readdressed as better data has become available.
Data Verification – An Integral Part of the Shadow Year!
Since central cost will be allocated to the schools via several metrics such as Employee Headcount, Student Headcount, Space, Research Expenditures, etc., it is imperative that this information be accurate and validated by the schools.
This “process of verification” has been a point of emphasis over the last several weeks as meetings with school/college and central fiscal officers have occurred weekly.
Each fiscal officer has been provided access to Box where the metric data, complete with data definitions, are available for review
Early Benefits of a Shadow Year
Leased space – 3 scenarios External Leases Internal Leases – Central/School Internal Leases – School/School
Research Expenditures PI’s changing schools
Employee/Faculty Headcounts Differences in how schools use titles (Adjunct vs. Credential
Course Instructors) The need for detailed explanations for inclusion/exclusion of
titles
RCM Expense Allocation Methodology
Axiom Software
Fiscal Officers have been able to review various screen shots:
Metric Module – Complete with drill down capabilities Allocation Module – Complete with market share data
Feedback on how to better optimize the views and make the info more user friendly have been relayed back to Kaufman Hall and adjustments are underway.
First month of shadow year is being finalized and will be shared with schools in the coming days.
