Rule 877-7.20 - Grantee report requirements

(1)Financial reports. Financial status reports and funds verification forms are tools used by the department for oversight of financial activity, as well as providing the documentation necessary to complete state and federal reports. Failure to report in a timely manner may result in advance payment delays, negative performance evaluations or possible termination of the contract.

a. Financial status reports. Expenditures must be reported according to the programs and cost categories identified in the budget summary section of each contract. Revenue is reported according to the amount drawn from the department, via wire transfer, at the end of the reporting period. At least quarterly (September, December, March and June reports) expenditures must be reported on an accrued cost basis. Expenditures should further be reported on a modified first-in, first-out basis, which means the oldest year's funds, by cost category, are to be expended first. Financial status reports and fund source pages are to be submitted to Department of Workforce Development, Bureau of Financial Management, 1000 E. Grand Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50319.

b. Funds verification forms. Funds drawn by the contractor from the department are done so by electronic funds transfer. The funds are generally requested on Monday of each week and distributed on Friday of the same week. Exceptions are made for weeks that include holidays, and those are addressed on a case-by-case basis. The financial management bureau of the department shall notify contractors in advance of call-in date changes. Funds are requested by preparation of an electronic funds verification form that is attached to an E-mail request. This is sent to the financial management bureau and is the basis for the Friday wire transfer. In order to establish a wire transfer system for a contractor, bank account information must be received by the department two weeks prior to the first wire transfer of funds. The timing of the contractor's receipt of funds and the disbursement of those funds must be done in a manner that minimizes the time that elapses between those two transactions.

(2)Program reports. The information entered into the department's management information system is the official database to be used for reporting. Reports are to be submitted to the program coordinator responsible for each individual program. Monthly expenditure reports are due the twentieth of the month following the month that is being reported. Final federal program reports for adult and dislocated worker programs are due August 15 of each year.

Final federal program reports for youth programs are due May 15 of each year.

(3)Performance reports. Progress on performance objectives must be reported to the department on a quarterly basis. Quarterly progress reports are due from each regional workforce investment board on October 30, January 31, and April 30 of each year. The annual progress report is due from each region to the department on August 15 of each year.
