as a School Nutrition
Supervisor?
HOUSEKEEPING

Please put all cell phones on silent. Due to the metal building, cell phone reception can be very poor. Feel free to take calls just outside the conference room under the cover.
Attendance:How many non-School Nutrition attendees? Finance or other?How many School Nutrition Supervisors? Less than 3 years?
The LG work environment is a very quiet work environment due to the needs of our programmers. Please be respectful of that.

ACCOUNTING 101DOUBLE ENTRY ACCOUNTING Double entry accounting is a
standard accounting method that requires each transaction to be recorded in at least two accounts.
Every debit balance must have an equal and off-setting credit balance for each transaction.
WHY DOES THAT MATTER ? ? ?
It provides for quick accuracy. Every transaction must balance.
ACCOUNTING 101What is the difference between a Calendar
year and a Fiscal Year?
The Calendar year is January 1 through December 31.
The Fiscal year is a period used for calculating annual (yearly) financial statements for businesses and other organizations. For Tennessee school systems, the Fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.
ACCOUNTING 101:THE BALANCE SHEET
ASSETS Bank Accounts Investment Accounts Receivables Inventory/Supplies Due From Other Funds Prepaid Expenses
ASSET ACCOUNTS Normally carry a
positive (debit) balance Debits increase the
ending balance Credits decrease the
ending balance
All Asset Function Numbers
begin with 1 (one)
ACCOUNTING 101What is an Accounts Receivable?
Accounts Receivable is revenue that has been earned for goods or services that you have provided for which you have not received payment. Accounts Receivable is an Asset on your Balance Sheet or Trial Balance. Example: USDA reimbursement requested for meals that have been provided but for which you have not received payment.
Generally, receivables are set up at the end of the year (June 30) in order to record revenues in the correct fiscal year.
When should I record an Accounts Receivable?
ACCOUNTING 101:THE BALANCE SHEET
LIABILITIES Payables Due To Other Funds Payroll deductions Short Term Debt
LIABILITY ACCOUNTS Normally carry a
negative (credit) balance
Credits increase the ending balance
Debits decrease the ending balance
All Liability Function Numbers
begin with 2 (two)
ACCOUNTING 101What is an Accounts Payable?
Accounts Payable is an expense that has been incurred for which payment has not been made. Accounts Payable is a Liability on your Balance Sheet or Trial Balance.
Example: Supplies ordered and received in June that have not been paid for by June 30.
Generally, payables are set up at the end of the year (June 30) in order to record expenditures in the correct fiscal year.
When should I record Accounts Payable?
ACCOUNTING 101:THE BALANCE SHEET
EQUITIES Inventory Long-Term Notes
Receivable Prepaid Items Restricted, Committed,
Assigned, and Unassigned Equity
EQUITY ACCOUNTS Normally carry a
negative (credit) balance
Credits increase the ending balance
Debits decrease the ending balance

ACCOUNTING 101
vs
Balance Sheet
Trial Balance
ACCOUNTING 101:THE BALANCE SHEET
The Balance Sheet displays ending balances only
ACCOUNTING 101:THE TRIAL BALANCE
The Trial Balance shows Balance Sheet accounts with theirbeginning balances and activity.
ACCOUNTING 101:BENEFITS OF THE TRIAL BALANCE
Seeing the beginning balance is often helpful.
In this particular case, it tells us that the Due from Other Governments (receivable) has not been collected <OR> when
the amount was received, it was recorded incorrectly.
ACCOUNTING 101:BENEFITS OF THE TRIAL BALANCE
The Trial Balance also shows accounts with a zero balance.
ACCOUNTING 101:SYSTEM GENERATED ASSET ACCOUNTS
Cumulative Budget entries for RevenueControlling account for Outstanding Current Year PO’s
Cumulative YTD ExpendituresCumulative Liquidated Prior Year PO’s
ACCOUNTING 101:SYSTEM GENERATED LIABILITY ACCOUNTS

Cumulative Budget entries (BG) made to Restricted for Operation of Non-Instructional Services
EQUITY OR FUND BALANCERESTRICTED FOR OPERATION OF NON-INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICESHOW DOES CLOSING THE YEAR END AFFECT THE EQUITY?
Total Revenues are reversed through Restricted for Operation of Non-Instructional Services which increases Equity
Total Expenditures are reversed through Restricted for Operation of Non-Instructional Services which decreases Equity
The difference (net gain or net loss) remains in Restricted for Operation of Non-Instructional Services
EQUITY OR FUND BALANCERESTRICTED FOR OPERATION OF NON-INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES
EXAMPLE: Prior Year’s Balance Sheet

ACCOUNTING 101EXPENDITURES
Purchases (Food, Supplies, Contracted Services)
Salaries and Wages Payroll Taxes (Employer’s portion of Social Security and Medicare) Insurance (Employer’s portion of health and dental)
Normally carry a positive (debit) balance
Equipment
Therefore, a debit will increase expenses and a credit will decrease expenses.
ACCOUNTING 101EXPENDITURES
Why are Expenditures the only account type that uses object codes? For example, 143-73100-499
Expenditures are the only account type segregated by department
The Function defines the department
The Object Code defines the type of expenditure within the department
STATEMENT OF EXPENDITURES AND ENCUMBRANCES
The Original Budget shows on the top line of the first columnBudget Amendments show on the bottom line of that column
The Total Budget (Original +/- Amendments) is in the next column
Budget Amounts
STATEMENT OF EXPENDITURES AND ENCUMBRANCES
YTD Expenditures are on the top of each expenditure line
YTD Encumbrances (PO’s) are below the expenditure
The available amount (total budget less YTD expenses and PO’s) is listed as the Unencumbered Balance
The Percent Used is listed below: Total expended (including PO’s) divided by the total budgeted
The final column show the current month’s actual expenses and PO’s
Actual Amounts
ACCOUNTING 101REVENUES
Lunch, Breakfast, Ala Carte
Normally carry a negative (credit) balance
Interest income Grants
Transfers in from other funds USDA Payments
Therefore, a debit will decrease a revenue but a credit will increase a
revenue.
ACCOUNTING 101:STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED,
REALIZED, AND UNREALIZED REVENUE
Similar to the Statement of Expenditures, the first columns are the budgeted amounts for Revenues
The next columns are the actual revenues received and the percentage that represents of the total budgeted
The Unrealized column is revenue budgeted but not collectedThe last column is the Current month’s revenue

ACCOUNTING 101
Asset accounts with negative balances warrant investigation
Our software indicates a debit balance as a positive number
Assets normally have a debit balance
ACCOUNTING 101Liabilities normally have a credit balance
Our software indicates a credit balance as a negative number
Liability accounts with positive balances warrant investigation
ACCOUNTING 101
Expenditures on lines where there is no Budget need reclassification or a Budget Amendment
ACCOUNTING 101
Expenditures on lines where the Unencumbered Balance is positive (the Percent Used is >100%) may require
reclassification or a Budget Amendment.
ACCOUNTING 101:STATEMENT OF EXPENDITURES AND
ENCUMBRANCES
When the Unencumbered Balance is negative, there are still funds available (Percent Used < 100%)
When the Unencumbered Balance is positive, more has been spent than was budgeted (Percent Used > 100%)

ACCOUNTING 101COST CENTERS
What are Cost Centers?Cost Centers are User-defined codes in the Chart of Accounts
Why do I need to use Cost Centers?
Cost centers allow you to track Revenues and Expenditures by school
For example: 143-73100-422-ELEM
ACCOUNTING 101COST CENTERS
Cost Centers allow you to track revenues and expenses by school
NOTE: If a summary line has actual expenditures or revenues recorded, the Cost Center has not been properly keyed.
ACCOUNTING 101COST CENTERS
Reports can be run with Summarized information
ACCOUNTING 101COST CENTERS
Reports can be run with Cost Center detail
ACCOUNTING 101COST CENTERS
And reports can be run by individual Cost Centers
ACCOUNTING 101COST CENTERS
When the Total Ending Balance is a negative, the Equity and Revenues exceed the Expenditures.
Negative is Good
ACCOUNTING 101BUDGETING
Things I need to know about Budgets
ACCOUNTING 101BUDGETING
Things I need to know about BudgetsBudgets are entered in reverse from a regular transaction
o Budgeted Revenues are entered as a
Debit
o Budgeted Expenditures are entered as a
Credit

Budgeted amount
Actual amount
ACCOUNTING 101BUDGETING
Things I need to know about BudgetsWhen do I need to do a Budget Amendment for Revenues?
Review your Summarized statementsGenerally, Revenues are only amended if they exceed the anticipated amount AND additional revenues are necessary to cover an increase in Expenditures.
Revenues may also require an amendment if anticipated amounts are significantly lower due to decreased meal counts.
ACCOUNTING 101BUDGETING
Things I need to know about BudgetsWhen do I need to do a Budget Amendment for Expenditures?
Local policy dictates when amendments are requiredGenerally, actual expenditures should not exceed the budget in any Function (e.g., 73100) or any Fund (143).
