Categorical Time Accounting Workshops
Deciphering The Complex Rules

Understanding the complex recordkeeping requirements for categorical programs may seem like a daunting task. However, understanding these complex laws is critical to any district's proper fiscal management because violations can result in the repayment of significant categorical funds and restrictions on future allocations. CBOs, Business Managers, Categorical Program Administrators, and technical support personnel will want to make the workshop a priority.

Attendees will take away solid knowledge about:

  • Time accounting requirements for various funding scenarios, such as employees who work in multiple positions, single or multiple cost objectives, school-based coordinated and/or schoolwide programs, or who are paid over a twelve month period, but work shorter time periods.
  • Consolidating funds in schoolwide programs
  • Consolidation of NCLB funds for administration
  • Supplement, not supplant
  • How to use the revenue transfer flexibility to meet educational goals and maximize funds
  • Common red flag expenditures to avoid
  • School Site Plan fiscal requirements
  • Best practices and model forms

Presented by SI&A's Fiscal Expert Jeri Wenger

Jeri Wenger is respected among school business officials for her professional development programs on categorical program compliance, attendance accounting, school finance and internal controls. Jeri served for more than thirty years in administrative roles at schools, county offices of education and in private audit firms.
