Note that a restriction must be honored, but the preference can be ignored if impossible or impractical. Fund Stewardship and Compliance should be alerted to funds with impossible or impractical restrictions.

Not Classified

Some older current use funds do not have coding. If any of these funds move into an accumulated value beyond 0-2 years, then the fund will be reviewed and a value added in the near future.

Chart: Cash Flow by Fiscal Year

The Cash Flow by Fiscal Year chart shows the ending fund balance in a trend line and the income and expenses in blue and gold bars. When you select a data point in either of the other two charts, this chart updates to reflect the selection. This chart is not interactive; selecting a data point in this chart does not cause changes in the other charts.

Funds that have accumulated funds can still have spending activity. Accumulation does not mean funds have been sitting unspent for 2+ years. It means the balance of the fund is 2+ years of the typical annual payout, even though the balance is being spent.
