These questions increase our awareness of needs in the field and allow us to adapt future trainings and tools to meet those needs. Below are all questions received during the webinar, some of which we were able to answer in the moment and others of which we collected for future responses. Our answers such as we know them at this point are included beneath each question. If you have additional questions, please send them to Sara R.

Are there any creative examples of how to code within accounting systems to break this out more easily? If so, can we post them somewhere together?  \nA. In developing the guidance for Site-Based Expenditure Reporting, the Advisory Group tested its guidance on actual district data. This exercise afforded us an opportunity to document recommendations for accounting practices that will enable efficient reporting. Recommendations will be thoroughly discussed in future webinars but notably include:  \n􀁸 Utilize the IPAM “Source of Funds” coding (or other available qualifier) to tag federally-funded items in recording expenses  \n􀁸 Properly utilize location codes to allocate as many expenses as possible in accounting to locations at which they are used/located  \n􀁸 Ensure personnel are assigned to the proper site for payroll, if they are site-based employees  \n􀁸 Ensure proper accounting for excluded items, and ensure that they are easily identifiable in accounting coding  \nQ2 . Have any of the large finance software vendors been involved in this discussion?  \nA. Not directly. ISBE's approach to meeting the Site-Based Expenditure Reporting requirement does not require a change in accounting coding. It is therefore up to each individual LEA to determine if they would like to change accounting practices, and to discuss accordingly with any vendors.  \nQ3 . I would like to see examples of how some schools are changing their account numbers to incorporate the source of funds. In addition, I would like to know if the software companies are aware of these changes that are coming.  \nA. While there are no requirements to change accounting practices to comply with Site-Based Expenditure Reporting, there are recommendations for account","cbCairIwT4y18hjl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairIwT4y18hjl","pdf",662257,"English","# GENERAL ACCOUNTING & REPORTING\n## Collection & Reporting","[{\"question\":\"Are there creative examples for coding within accounting systems to simplify Site-Based Expenditure Reporting?\",\"answer\":\"The guidance recommends using IPAM “Source of Funds” coding (or another available qualifier), properly using location codes, assigning personnel to the proper site for payroll, and ensuring excluded items are correctly and easily identifiable in accounting coding.\"},{\"question\":\"Will reporting rely on final audited AFR year-end data?\",\"answer\":\"Timing restrictions prevent basing the reporting on AFR data, but unaudited site-based data can still provide directional value for understanding resource allocation and aligning strategic priorities with student needs.\"},{\"question\":\"Is a narrative required to accompany Site-Based Expenditure Reporting for the District/School Report Card?\",\"answer\":\"No narrative is required.
