Narrative
Upon receipt of the funds from the State, the Fiscal Agent will provide an upfront allocation of 1/12th every month to each member based on that member's allocation and compliance of the GAEN bylaws. As a Consortium, we have opted to operate on an upfront disbursement of funds of 1/12th of each member's award, which will be paid each month, upon receipt of funds from the State. Each member will submit a monthly invoice requesting 1/12th of their funds. The benefits include a more streamlined process, one member having the Consortium information for reporting purposes versus various members having fragmented pieces, and the fiscal agent's ability to have a quick turnaround time in payment. The Fiscal Agent is requesting quarterly Financial Status Reports (FSRs) from its members. The FSRs are reviewed for completeness of appropriate support documentation, and the reported expenditures are verified against the approved member's budgets. The members complete a Budget Modification Request Form that is then routed for approval at the GAEN Board Meeting. The Fiscal Agent receives all approved Budget Modification Request Forms and updates members' budgets as applicable. Each Consortium Member provides expenditure reports by object code to the fiscal agent, which is then validated and combined for the Consortia to be reported to the State. Consensus and approval for the programs to be served in our Consortium were agreed upon at the April 24th, 2020 GAEN Board Meeting. All members' work plans include details as to the populations to be served, and the work plans were approved at such meeting. As a Consortium, we serve within all seven categories, based on the needs of the region. The Fiscal Agent agrees to charge no more than 5% of the AB104 funds allocated to the Consortium for administrative responsibilities. The Fiscal Agent will track hours spent for administrative procedures and only actual charge expenses, not to exceed 5% of the award amount.
Changes
The changes were minor changes for clarity. All the processes are the same as in previous years.
