To distinguish effectively between sponsored (externally funded) and match (internally funded), UA established a set of fund types that roll to FTYP 14 and use the character ‘C’ in the second position of the FTYP code. Their attributes otherwise mimic funds in the ‘2’ restricted fund classification (e.g., A2, F2).

The fund types are

• AC - Anchorage (UAA)
• FC - Fairbanks (���Ϻ�����Ƶ)
• JC - Juneau (UAS)
• SC - Statewide

Central budget/accounting offices must budget “match” authority within the 149998 fund, similar to the use of 998000 for restricted fund budget authority, as part of the annual budget development process. Central offices may delegate this requirement to unit budget offices.

Entries include a special classification of “intra-agency transfer” revenue budget using account code 9982. Budget/accounting offices budget estimated funding levels for project match on unrestricted funds using account code 8582. In this way, the budget balance for these account codes (9982 and 8582) is always equal.

Budget entries on match funds use rule class code "MBUD" with the title “Matching Fund Budget Rule Code.” Offset authority uses fund 149998 (automatic processing entry).

The following guidelines are basic management standards for match funds. Direct specific project questions to the appropriate grant consultant.

1. Match funds are set up with full direct budget at inception based on the final approved project budget; multi-year projects with phased sponsor funding include phased match budget as the agency authorizes continuation of each phase.
2. Initial match fund transfers via JV occur during the first budget cycle (month) that the project is active and represent a reasonable amount of the total commitment that the institution should meet during the current unrestricted fiscal year.
3. Departments may meet the match funding commitment prior to the required unrestricted fiscal year; at no time will the committed match funding exceed the authorized direct match budget.
4. Match fund closeout follows restricted fund closeout procedures, and any excess funding transfers to another match fund or returns to general unrestricted funds.

Revenue transfers to match funds occur between the match fund and unrestricted funds in the following manner using a journal voucher (JV):

Unrestricted: 10XXXX-XXXXX-8582 (D)

Project Match: 14XXXX-XXXXX-9982 (C)

Due to the need to demonstrate the institution is meeting match commitments while preventing unnecessary work and risk, departments must, at minimum, transfer sufficient funds within a funding period to cover costs that will reasonably accumulate within that period. This transfer may be one lump sum or periodic. Projects need not end a fiscal year on an exact one-to-one (expense to revenue) basis, but all fund balances must be at least zero. All transfers during a fiscal year must be complete no later than June 30.

Transfers from unrestricted to match funds are ONE WAY. Managers should not expect to return funds from match to unrestricted at a later date. Observe the following considerations:

1. Funds transferred to a match fund will not exceed the authorized budget of the fund.
2. In the event that a project’s final commitment is lower than originally budgeted, a department may move the residual funding back to general unrestricted by reversing the entries noted above or to a different match fund using account code 9982 on both sides of the transaction, as appropriate (per the next consideration).
3. Residual balances returned to unrestricted funds may not exceed $10,000 or 10% of the final project match requirement, whichever is less.

The use of the JPAY transaction type for moving payroll expenditures in a prior fiscal year extends to funds in the 14xxxx range. Expenses of this nature may move between match and restricted funds as necessary (with required supporting documentation).
