Supervision – SMS will provide effective supervision and direction for the district business support services staff. We will be on-site a minimum of two days per week to ensure the business support services are being delivered in an accurate and timely manner.

UFARS Compliance – It is imperative that consistent and accurate coding of district revenue and expenditures occurs to facilitate comparability of financial results from year to year and more importantly to accurately develop budgets. Also, accurate coding of expenditures allows for maximization of revenues, such as Special Ed State and Federal revenues as well as grants and title program revenues.

General Ledger Reconciliation – Timely reconciliation of general ledger items such as cash, deferred revenue, accounts payable, etc. is critical to accurate financial reporting. It is this area that is often responsible for misrepresenting revenues and expenditures and delaying the annual audit.

Special Education Reporting – SMS will work closely with the Director of Special Ed to ensure staffing is appropriately designated as State or Federal and that all appropriate Special Ed costs are coded as such to maximize available revenues. SMS will also assist the Director of Special Ed to ensure the district is meeting maintenance of effort requirements to ensure no federal funds are lost.

Federal & Local Grants – Accurate and timely reporting of federal and grant expenditures is important in securing all available revenues. In addition to ensuring revenues aren’t lost, it is also critical to comply with periodic reporting requirements to receive funds available in a more timely fashion, which has a positive impact on cash flow and can translate into increased interest earnings.
