Therefore, the state requires subrecipients to submit financial reports on amonthly and quarterly basis in the CalJOBSSM system
POLICY AND PROCEDURESExpenditure Reporting RequirementsSubrecipients are responsible for ensuring all expenditure reports are accurate and submittedon time. Subrecipients are required to submit monthly and quarterly expenditure reports on acumulative basis following the accrual basis of accounting. A separate expenditure report mustbe filed for each grant code
Youth, Adult, and Dislocated Worker formula expenditures must be reported quarterly
Expenditures for all other funds are required to be reported monthly. Accrued expendituresdo not need to be split out for monthly reports, but should be reported on all quarterly reports
Subrecipients must submit their monthly and quarterly expenditure reports in the CalJOBSsystem by the 20th of the month following the end of each reporting period
Example – Expenditure reports for the reporting period that ends July 31 are due August 20
NOTE – When the reporting deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, all reports are due byclose of business (COB) on the last business day prior to the due date
Example – If August 20 falls on a Sunday, reports would be due by COB on Friday, August 18
Late or incomplete filing of monthly and quarterly expenditure reports will impede future cashrequests until the appropriate reports are filed. A cash hold will be implemented immediately Page 2 of 8 once the due dates have passed and the expenditure reports have not been received by thestate. If no financial activity has occurred during the reporting period, an expenditure reportmust still be filed.
