Memorandum #05-22
To: All Subrecipients
Subject: Invoicing And Reporting of Accruals
Effective Date: November 15, 2005
A. POLICY
In conformance with United States Department of Labor One-Stop Comprehensive Financial Management Technical Guide dated July, 2002 and Washington State Employment Security Department WIA Title I-B Policy Number 3230, Financial Management , the Snohomish County Workforce Development Council ( WDC ) has developed this policy regarding invoicing and reporting of accruals by subrecipients.
• All subrecipients must follow current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as provided by the National Council on Government Accounting.
• Subrecipient accounting systems must follow consistent rules for aggregation of detailed data to the summary level and accruals are traceable through the subrecipient's financial system.
• Subrecipient accounting records must be maintained on an accrual or modified accrual basis and financial data must be submitted on an accrued expenditure basis.
• The WDC requires that its subcontractors operate on an accrual or modified accrual basis and that its subcontractors report accruals quarterly.
B. PROCEDURES
Expenses must be reported to the WDC by the 15th of each month using the Invoice form provided by the WDC (see Attachment A for a sample). At the end of each quarter, accruals must be reported to the WDC at the same time on the Subrecipient Quarterly Accrual Reporting Form (Attachment B). The specific budget lines for which accruals must be reported are described below.
• DEFINITIONS
• Salary and Wages - all subrecipient staff salaries and wages accrued at the end of the quarter must be included in the reports.

• Professional Services Subcontractor Costs - All accrued professional services subcontractor costs must be reported.
• Indirect Costs - For subrecipients with an approved indirect cost rate, the rate must be applied to accruals and reported.
