The Collin County Community College District (CCCCD) maintains financial control over externally-funded programs. These programs are identified as grants and contracts. The Business Office provides timely and accurate accounting services for grants and contracts, ensuring that CCCCD is in compliance with applicable grant and contract regulations and is reimbursed for allowable costs.

The District is in compliance with the guidelines cited in both Office of Management and Budget Circular A-21 and A-110 for all grants and contracts from all funding sources. All programs are audited annually by the District’s external auditors, as required by each program’s guidelines, and these results are contained in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) Single Audit section (References 1, 2, 3). Any findings are reported in the auditor’s management letter (References 4, 5, 6).

In addition to monthly cost center budget reports (Reference 7), a schedule of monthly revenue and expenditures is prepared by the Business Office, showing each grant and contract, the amount authorized, the receipts, expenses, accounts receivable, and the date the amounts were requested (Reference 8). This accounting practice assures that all allowable costs are reimbursed in a timely manner.
