This packet provides you with useful information regarding the execution of your duties as treasurer. Your division has elected to use accounting services facilitated by the APA Accounting Office. As a result, your division accounting transactions will be processed by our Division Accounting Team at your direction and authorization. Some advantages of having elected this service are: • • • It’s free to the division. As treasurer, you will have less day-to-day paperwork to handle while still maintaining control over the division's finances. There is consistency in the classification of revenues and expenses from year to year and from one treasurer to the next. • Year-end reports and tax filings, such as 1099s, are prepared and filed for the division. • Financial records are stored/archived for at least seven years. • • Should you elect to deposit funds in other investments (e.g. certificates of deposit, mutual funds, etc.), APA staff will assist in the administrative process of establishing an account and investing the funds, as directed by you. The division will operate under the accounting policies and internal control procedures tested and reviewed by APA's independent auditors. You will interact with our Division Accounting Team for your day-to-day accounting. You can reach them: by mail: Division Accounting P.O. Box 90220 Washington, DC 20090 by email: [email protected] While this packet covers typical division activity that you will handle, you might find you have questions or issues that arise during your term as treasurer. The Division Accounting Team is always available to help answer those questions or address those issues. Please feel free to contact them if you need help in any way. ACCOUNTING SERVICES AND FINANCIAL REPORTING Throughout each month, you will send disbursement requests, cash receipts, and other accounting entries directly to the Division Accounting Team. This section provides information about the procedures used to submit and process these items. Please note that forms shown in italics can be found in Forms and Samples. • Disbursements: You will approve and submit all requests for payment, along with receipts/documentation, to the Division Accounting Team for processing. To request a disbursement, use the Reimbursement / Disbursement Request form. Indicate the account(s) (and budget code(s) as necessary) that should be charged. Disbursement requests are not processed until “complete” with signature, receipts, etc. Disbursement requests that are complete will normally be processed within ten working days after they are received. In some cases, checks can be cut sooner for special circumstances. A Form W-9 will be required for any new payees as necessary to manage IRS 1099 reporting. • Receipts: All dues and assessments collected and processed by APA will automatically be recorded on the division's books. Other checks for deposit and credit card payments should be submitted to the Division Accounting Team for processing, and should be accompanied by the Division Receipt Form indicating the accounts to be credited when deposits are made. Please follow these guidelines when submitting cash receipts: Organize the checks sent with the form. It is difficult to properly record receipts submitted with no organization. In cases where a dues check is written on a joint account, where two names are shown on the check, please indicate which person is paying for membership. A simple check mark next to the member’s name is a quick way to provide that information. If there is no address on a dues check, please provide one. A member address is required. If a single check is submitted to pay dues for multiple members, please provide a list of names and addresses for every person whose dues are being paid. Please indicate on all dues check what dues year the check is paying for. This will allow the Division Accounting team to properly record the receipt in the correct year. If it is possible, providing the eight-digit APA member number for each person paying dues helps greatly. If you submit a check that is not for membership dues (e.g. contributions, advertising, etc.), please provide a description of what the check is for. This will allow the Division Accounting Team to properly record the receipt in the correct account for reporting on the division’s financial statements. Some treasurers submit lists of member names, addresses, and statuses along with the Division Receipt Form, as a simple and convenient way to provide the information above. This makes processing cash receipts much more efficient. From January through November, checks for deposit that are received on the last day of the month will be posted to the next month’s financials. Checks for deposit that are received on the last day of December and any check received in the next year pertaining to the previous year will be posted to December’s financials. Checks cashed in the next year for previous year activity (example royalties) will be applied to the appropriate year up until final close of previous year financials. The Division Accounting team will contact you with deadlines on final closings. Dues received by the division in the current year for credit to the following dues year will be recorded as deferred revenue (Dues Collected in Advance of Service Year) and not recognized as income until the subsequent year. • Reports: Financial reports will be provided to you, usually within three weeks after month end. Various supplemental reports are provided as well. . If you determine that your division reporting needs are different from what you are receiving, please notify the Division Accounting Team and they will work with you to meet your division’s needs. You may receive the following reports: Balance Sheet Income/Operating Statement Budget vs. Actual Report (If Applicable) Bank Statement (If Applicable) Investment Statements (If Applicable) Monthly Activity Reports for: • Revenue and Expense Transactions ♦ Dues and Assessments Collected through APA Dues Statements ♦ Cash Receipts for: Dues and Assessments Collected by Divisions Other Revenue ♦ Cash Disbursements Outstanding Check List (If Applicable) Accounts Receivable (If Applicable) Interest Receivable (If Applicable) Accounts Payable (If Applicable) Detailed Asset Transactions, if applicable (“Attribute Transaction Journal”) for: Checking Account, Savings Account, or Investments not held by APA, Travel Advances, Deposits and Advances, and Prepaid Expenses DIVISION CHART OF ACCOUNTS* INCOME (REVENUES): ACCT # ACCOUNT TITLE 40101 40102 40103 40104 Associate Dues (APA) Member Dues (APA) Fellow Dues (APA) Exempt Dues (APA) 40111 40112 40113 40115 40121 40122 40123 40125 40126 40211 40212 40214 40215 40216 40217 40221 40222 40223 40301 40302 40303 40305 40306 40400 40420 41201 41401 New Associate Dues (See Note 1) New Member Dues (See Note 1) New Fellow Dues (See Note 1) New Student Dues (See Note 1) Associate Renewals Member Renewals Fellow Renewals Student Renewals Affiliate Renewals Non-APA Member Dues-Associate Non-APA Member Dues-Member Non-APA Member Dues-Exempt Non-APA Member Dues-Students Non-APA Member Dues-Affiliate International Affiliate Dues College & University Teacher Dues Second & High School Teacher Dues Post-doct., Graduate & Undergrad Student Dues Section Dues-Associate Section Dues-Member Section Dues-Fellow Section Dues-Student Section Dues-Affiliate Gift Membership State Association Dues Advertising Royalties 41405 Royalties-Other 41501 42001 43005 43010 Sales Grants Contributions Contributions-Special 43020 Contributions- Section 44005 45001 45910 45990 47005 47007 47010 47020 Registration Fees/Workshop Interest-Operating Funds Honorarium/ Stipend for Editorial Office Expense Other Revenue Interest/Dividends-Investments Capital Gains-Investments Realized Gain/Loss-Investments Unrealized Gain/Loss -Investments * Each account listed is used by at least one division ACCOUNT DESCRIPTION Division dues collected from associates by APA (For APA use only) Division dues collected from members by APA (For APA use only) Division dues collected from fellows by APA (For APA use only) Division dues collected from exempt associates, members, and fellows by APA (For APA use only) Division dues collected from new associate members by the Division Division dues collected from new members by the Division Division dues collected from new fellow members by the Division Division dues collected from new student members by the Division Division dues renewed by associate members Division dues renewed by members Division dues renewed by fellow members Division dues renewed by student members Division dues renewed by affiliate members Dues collected by the Division from non-APA members-associate Dues collected by the Division from non-APA members-member Dues collected by the Division from non-APA members-exempt Dues collected by the Division from non-APA members-students Dues collected by the Division from non-APA members-affiliate Dues collected by the Division from international affiliates Dues collected by the Division from college & university teachers Dues collected by the Division from second & high school teachers Dues collected by the Division from post-doct., graduate & undergrad students Dues collected by the Division from Section-associates (For Section use only) Dues collected by the Division from Section-members (For Section use only) Dues collected by the Division from Section-fellows (For Section use only) Dues collected by the Division from Section-students (For Section use only) Dues collected by the Division from Section-affiliates (For Section use only) Dues collected by the Division for gift memberships Dues collected by the Division from state associations Income from advertising Income earned by the Division from contractual agreements for the use of division material (See Note 2) Income earned by the Division from contractual agreements for the use of division misc. material (See Note 2) Income from sales of subscriptions, etc. Income from grants Gifts, contributions, bequests, or assignments of royalties by members (See Note 3) Gifts, contributions, bequests, or assignments of royalties by members for special purposes (See Note 3) Gifts, contributions, bequests, or assignments of royalties by members (See Note 3) (For Section use only) Fees for workshops, meetings, seminars Interest on operating checking and Merrill Lynch money market account Honorarium or Stipend for the Division’s use.

Footnotes to Chart of Accounts Note 1- New member dues are kept separate from non-member dues. Note 2- Income received from division members who donate or assign their rights (in a royalty, etc.) to the division should be considered contributions. Note 3- For tax filing purposes, keep track of contributions in the amount of $5,000 or greater. Necessary information includes: (a) (b) (c) Name and Address of Contributor Amount of Contribution Form of Contribution (Cash or non-cash*) *For non-cash items we will assist you in determining the fair market value of the item(s). Note 4- Keep track of descriptions of miscellaneous income. Note 5- For tax filing purposes, keep track of cumulative amounts in excess of $100,000 paid for officers, directors, key employees & highest compensated employees, and contractors.

Convention & meetings expenses are those incurred to hold the meeting (meeting room charges, audio-visual equipment, working lunches, etc.) Travel is for hotel rooms, meals, transportation, etc. Note 7- For grants, honoraria, and awards given, it is desirable to provide a copy of the Board of Director's minutes showing the approval of the grant/honorarium/award given. A guideline for distinguishing an award from a grant is: awards are given on the basis of past actions; grants are given for future actions. Note 8- Keep records of the following information for grants given: (a) (b) (c) (d) Purpose of grant (Purpose should be as specific as possible) Recipient's name and address Relationship, if any, of an individual recipient to an officer, director, etc. of the donor organization How the division determined which recipients qualify to receive the grant IMPORTANT FINANCIAL PRACTICES In order to accurately report your financial results, there are several financial issues/policies that should be followed. These best practices deal with the following major areas: Advances/Deposits Other Assets Reimbursements Blanket Expense Authorizations Third-Party Payments W-9 Forms and 1099 Reporting Division Credit Card Document Retention Guidelines Budgeting Reserves – Working Capital and Net Asset Reserves Making an Investment Decision Please note that form names in italics can be found in Forms and Samples. • ADVANCES/DEPOSITS When an advance or deposit is required for an event or service a written request, quote, or proforma invoice must be given to you by the provider. Upon your approval, the amount will be charged as an advance or deposit on the division’s books, and a check will be issued. It is critical to “clear” an advance as soon as possible in order to accurately and timely reflect the expense. To clear an advance, original receipts must be provided to record the actual expense and remove the outstanding advance. When an advance is for ongoing expenses (such as editorial/publication), quarterly written reports of the expenditures and a statement of the balance by the custodian of the funds must be provided to the Division Accounting Team prior to drawing on the following quarter’s funds. Once a project or event has been completed for which an advance was made, any unspent funds must be returned to the Division Accounting Team prior to drawing on the following quarter’s funds. Generally, the longer an advance is outstanding, the harder it is to collect and to consequently expense. It is a prudent and best practice to clear advances within 30 days of the activity. Note: All requests for travel advances must include an IRS Form W-9 completed by the traveler. In the event that a travel advance is not accounted for by the proper submission of an expense report with original receipts, within 60 days of the completion of the travel, the advance can be deemed to be taxable income and an IRS Form 1099-MISC may be issued to the traveler at year end. See the section below on W-9 Forms and 1099 Reporting. • OTHER ASSETS It is the Divisions responsibility to review and reconcile assets not under APA’s control. These may include a petty cash fund, a checking or savings account, or other investment account. An independent review performed by an individual who does not have signature authority protects both the individual(s) who have signature authority on the assets and the division. Reconciliations should be performed periodically throughout the year and at year-end. In order to record all transactions related to these accounts for the final year-end financial statements and tax reporting, a copy of all bank statements for the current year (January 1 - December 31), along with a financial report, must be provided to the Division Accounting Team. • REIMBURSEMENTS All reimbursements must be approved by you and must have appropriate documentation. All invoices and receipts must include proof of payment if not directly paid to the vendor. If an original receipt cannot be provided, a written statement must accompany the reimbursement request describing why an original receipt is not available. The Division Accounting Team reviews all disbursement requests before issuing checks. Part of the review process includes comparing the amount requested to be disbursed against the supporting documentation to make sure they agree. If there is a discrepancy, the Division Accounting Team will contact you for approval to change the disbursement request before the check can be issued. Note: You cannot authorize payments to yourself as treasurer. See the section below on Blanket Expense Authorizations. • BLANKET EXPENSE AUTHORIZATIONS The Blanket Expense Authorization Form allows the president to set the type of expense and dollar limit that the treasurer can submit for reimbursement to him/herself without having to obtain the president's approval for each request. The form will be valid for the period stated or will coincide with the authorizing president’s term of office. • THIRD-PARTY PAYMENTS A third-party payment is a payment of an invoice that is billed to an individual or organization other than the division. APA policy prohibits third-party payments, and the divisions that use APA’s accounting services must follow the same policy. Even if you authorize a payment of a third-party invoice, the Division Accounting Team will not be able to cut a check to make the payment. An invoice billed to the division will be paid directly to the invoicing company (see Sample 1 Invoice billed to Division 4). An invoice billed to an individual must be paid by that individual. Reimbursement will be made to that individual as long as the original invoice is submitted to the division, along with proof of payment such as copy of a credit card statement or a canceled check (see Sample 2 Invoice billed to Dr. John Doe). • W-9 FORMS AND 1099 REPORTING Individuals and companies must complete an IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-9 for receipt of an award, an honorarium, payment for services, or, in some cases, a reimbursement. This does not apply to individuals who have requested reimbursement for expenses for which original receipts have been provided. We are required by the IRS to have on file a Form W-8BEN or Form W-9 which certifies the social security number (or company's employer identification number) and address. The IRS requires the issuance of a Form 1099-MISC to those individuals or (non-incorporated) companies who have received compensation of $600 or more for the tax year. An IRS Form W-9 must accompany all requests for travel advances. It must be completed by the traveler and submitted with the request. If an advance is not accounted for by the proper submission of an expense report with original receipts, within 60 days of the completion of the travel, the advance can be deemed to be taxable income and an IRS Form 1099-MISC may be issued to the traveler at year end. Note: The responsibility for filing Form 1099-MISC with the IRS lies with the custodian of the cash account from which reportable transactions have been paid. This is why we urge the division to have the Division Accounting Team make payments, since the Division Accounting Team will then handle the reporting and filing process. If a division does make a reportable payment itself, that division is responsible for filing the Form 1099-MISC with the IRS and providing a copy to the Division Accounting Team. • DIVISION CREDIT CARD Credit cards are not permitted to be opened in the Division’s name. Banks typically require a personal guarantee (tied to an individual’s credit not the organization’s credit) and APA employees will not tie their own social security number to a Division credit card. The Division Accounting team can help elevate large expenses by allowing us to fill out direct billing applications for vendors that offer this option. These are typically offered by hotel and vendors who provide services for meetings, although it doesn’t hurt to ask if this option is available when working with any service. A Direct Bill Application Example is provided in the Forms and Samples section as a reference. Direct billing facilitates invoicing directly to the Division allowing the Division time to review their charges, pay any deposits needed and ultimately preventing individuals to advance their personal money to temporary cover Division costs. The Division Accounting Team is able to reimburse Division expenses within two weeks of receiving the completed documents. This turnaround will normally prevent any credit card fees from being assessed to individuals who use their own credit cards. Also, many enjoy the benefit of receiving points, flyer miles, and other perks of using their credit cards. • DOCUMENT RETENTION GUIDELINES Electronic or paper copies are acceptable. Electronic is preferred.

It is designed to: • • • • monitor and control activities; provide an orderly process to allow changes to be implemented; assure that activities are being conducted within limits; and, aid the treasurer and officers in fulfilling their fiduciary responsibilities. The budget is integral to a division’s goal-setting and objectives. Each officer, project manager, committee and/or task force member should be involved in the process. The budget should be consistent in grouping elements of cost. Historical data should be reviewed to establish amounts for budget categories that were developed in previous years. Research should be done to estimate budget amounts for new categories. Calculations/assumptions and estimates of each and every element should be documented. The following are some steps and timetables to establish budgets (and ultimately to strengthen the division’s financial position): I. Summer before implementation of budget: • • II. Winter before implementation of budget: • • • III. Develop goals to support the division's area of psychology Develop a budget to meet the division goals Review actual to date Refine the budget to reflect changes as appropriate Provide the final budget to the Division Accounting Team. The Division Accounting Team will enter the budget into the accounting system at the beginning of the year so the Budget vs Actual performance reports they provide can reflect how actual to date activity during the year compares against the budgeted activity During the summer of the operation: • • • Review the activity to date Make projections on the likely activity for the remainder of the year Collectively review the actual to date plus the projections for the remainder of the year (year-end probable), and compare with technical and budget goals to be sure that all original plans have either been provided for or aborted • Develop next year’s budget based on the previous year's activity and current plans of the division. Monthly reports should compare the budget plan against the actual revenues and expenses. The report should be reviewed on a regular basis; if changes are required after review, the approved adjustments to the budget should be documented. A budget can also aid the division in determining whether to invest its “surplus” funds. (See the section below on Making an Investment Decision.) A budget is also extremely helpful when preparing year-end tax information, especially schedules such as the Statement of Functional Expenses and the Statement of Program Service Accomplishments (Part IX) of the group tax return Form 990. It aids in classifying expenses as program services or management & general. When a division does not provide a budget by the beginning of the year, the Division Accounting Team cannot produce a Budget vs. Actual report and the treasurer will have the responsibility of completing Part IX of the group tax return Form 990. • RESERVES – WORKING CAPITAL AND NET ASSET RESERVES Reserves are funds set aside to survive a crisis. There are two types of reserves: working capital reserves and net asset reserves. Working Capital reserves are funds set aside to survive a short-term crisis (insurance claim, mail strike, etc.). Working Capital is the difference between total current assets and total current liabilities. Rule of thumb for working capital reserves: 3 – 6 months of the budget Net Asset reserves are funds set aside to survive a long-term crisis (reduction in membership, increased publication costs, etc.). Net Assets are the difference between total assets and total liabilities. Net Assets are also known as Fund Balance and Net Worth. Rule of thumb for net asset reserves: 12 months of the budget Working Capital reserves and Net Asset reserves are not amounts that you budget for, since they are not revenues or expenses. They are amounts you should keep in mind as you create your budgets, however, as they will be affected by receipts and disbursements during the year. • MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION Much thought and planning is necessary to make a prudent decision regarding the division’s assets. A review of the division’s operating and investment objectives are critical: 1. Initial Indicators A. Compare cash flow (past two years, current year, and projected two years) to establish your "low-point" in cash. This typically defines the minimum cash on hand requirement, thus any funds in excess of your "minimum" may be available for investment (short-term or long-term) for the division. B. If your Division has consistent and predictable revenues and expenses and has been accumulating net assets over the years (showing operating profit), a long-term investment may be appropriate. 2. Compare budget to actuals (past two years, current year, and projected two years) to establish your division’s ability to remain within the budget or "plan". 3. Based on the above, you should have sufficient information to determine if investing surplus funds is a current option for your division. Action Plan: If you decide that investing is an option, then your division may want to consider one of the following based on your investment time horizon: A. Long-Term Investment (greater return with higher risk) • • Generally, long-term investments are defined as 10+ years. APA, itself, describes long-term funds (both principal and earnings) as “untouchable”. B. Short-Term/Intermediate Investments (lower return with less risk) • These investments are generally 3 months to 9 years. C. Long- and Short-Term Investments (combination of return and risk) • A combination of these investments is generally used to meet operational needs for the near future and plans that will not be implemented for at least 10 years. You need to develop an investment philosophy that will guide your investment decisions (allocations on expected return risk, time horizon, allowable investments, prohibited investments, etc.). Note: APA only provides the administrative services to enable the division to invest funds. APA is not an investment advisor nor can division funds be co-mingled with APA assets. We take our direction from a treasurer to set up accounts and transfer funds. We will continue to report on investments. APA provides the divisions with access to Merrill Lynch’s Money Market Fund, which provides competitive short-term yields and requires no administration to invest or divest. CONTRACTS AND GRANTS ACTIVITY Association Rule 100-1.7 states that “A Division may execute contracts or negotiate grants with outside entities. Such contracts or grants (with the exception of those for routine, annually recurring events or expenses, e.g., meetings) which provide for payment or receipt by a Division or the Association of funds, goods, services or other value in excess of $10,000 must be submitted to the APA Executive Office for prior legal and financial review…” Although not all contracts will require this legal and financial review, there are numerous financial and logistical advantages to enlisting support. APA’s Office of General Counsel (OGC), along with the Convention and Meeting Services Office (CMSO), is available to assist in the negotiation of function contracts. Many hotel and food and beverage contracts contain harsh penalties and one-sided requirements that may not serve the best interests of the Division. Due to volume and existing infrastructure, OGC and CMSO staff can frequently obtain better, more balanced terms, limit the liability of the Division and the Association, and realize significant economies in the expenditure of Division funds. For example, it is possible to decrease or eliminate deposits, increase the allocation of complimentary rooms, reduce room rates, reduce attrition penalties, etc. The Grants and Contracts Office (GCO) of APA’s Finance Department is available to assist Divisions in the preparation of the business and financial portions of grant applications or proposals, post-award administration, financial reporting, and invoicing. This office can also assist with the execution of agreements and legally binding documents by coordinating review and approval through the OGC. Because of the myriad financial reporting requirements and compliance issues contained in awards from federal sources and APA’s ultimate financial responsibility for affiliated Divisions, Divisions must notify the GCO of any federal award within ten (10) days of receipt and provide a copy of the award notification. This information must be collected in order for APA to complete the government-mandated annual audit of all federal assistance (the A-133) received by the Association. Successful completion of this audit protects APA’s position as a contractor in good standing and maintains the Association’s, as well as the Divisions’, eligibility to receive federal funds and perform on federally funded projects. In addition, federal awards require special accounting procedures and must be administered in accordance with applicable statutes and regulations. The penalties for noncompliance are severe, from financial judgments against individuals involved in project management to suspension and disbarment as an eligible federal contractor. The GCO is available to advise Divisions on appropriate policies, procedures, and guidelines to follow when performing on a federal award. Contact Lillian White, Director of Grants & Contracts and Reporting at (202) 3126494 with questions regarding accounting for awards. The GCO can serve as a resource to the Divisions through a variety of reference materials that contain specific guidance on the availability, preparation, submission and administration of government-funded grants and contracts. These include the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR); the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR); the Health and Human Services Grants Administration Manual; the Federal Grants Management Handbook; the Public Health Services Grants and Contracts Manual; the Public Health Service Grants Policy Statement; the Federal Supply Class or Service Codes; the Federal Acquisition Report; the National Science Foundation Grants Policy Manual; and a selection of relevant Office of Management and Budget circulars. In addition, APA monitors information on regulations, policies, funding sources, and program descriptions on various websites and collects the following publications: the Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance; the Commerce Business Daily; the Federal Register; and the Public Health Service Profiles of Financial Assistance Programs. Other material is available upon request.
