Department of Medicine RSA Monthly Meeting
February 16, 2012 8:30am – 10:00am, Laurel Heights Room 376
Present: Ross Beard, Alice Chin, Lori Cripps (guest), Hung Dao, Joanne Dang, CM Dutton, Terry Gleason, Shawn Green, Denise Go, Lynn Ha, Nancy Huynh, Venecia Jacobs, Kathy Judd, Vicky Lee, Lily Luu, Annie Mar, Marissa Meyer, Wendy Ng, Eric Ormsby, Peter Padilla, Suzanne Sutton, Susana Szeto, Yvette Villicana, Eric Wu ______________________________________________________________________________ Chart of Accounts Project (COA) We invited Tammy Wallace, new Assistant Controller of Accounting and Reporting in the Controller's Office. She joined UCSF 6 months ago to expand reporting and implement the new COA. Judy Kelso at the last RSA Townhall Meeting had presented a broad overview of the project, including the rationale, design process, and project timeline on January 19th. We asked Tammy to present on how the new COA will affect the daily lives of RFMs during the transition and after implementation. The materials are attached. Highlights include the following:
The new COA will add 8 more chart strings. New program identifiers will help to classify the purpose/objectives of the project such as research, education, etc., while the NCA will continue to be used to classify the expense.
The new Dept ID will function the same as the depcode in terms of identifying who owns which funds but will not serve to provide access. The new environment will be open access to view all funds. Rather, the Dept ID will be used as filtering criteria when running reports. The Control Points are currently determining the Dept IDs and structure for departments.
The new reporting solution to be designed will enable programmatic financial management. (We will invite Lori Cripps, Assistant Controller of Financial Reporting to present at a future meeting.)
The fund will be used to classify the type of dollars across the Campus. For example, all federally sponsored contracts will share the same fund.
The Medical Center will be converting to PeopleSoft and will be on the same system. There are discussions about how interface the Campus with the Medical Center.
Lay Offs Policies and Procedures for Staff and Non-‐Faculty Academics Katy Rau, Assistant Director of HR and Jane Ta, Academic HR Manager from the Department of Medicine were invited to present on the internal policies and procedures for layoffs so that RFMs can appropriately advise PIs when managing their portfolio and coordinate with division administrators appropriately. Please refer to the attached materials. Highlights include the following:
Non-‐faculty academics can be appointed with less than a 12-‐month appointment and the start date can be "off-‐cycle" from the academic year.
For staff lay offs, PIs need to allow a 3-‐6 month timeline to enable HR to review/implement the layoff. CUE employees require an average of 4-‐6 months, but can take closer to 6 months depending on the seniority of the individual and the review process mandated by the contract. Once an employee has been issued a layoff notification, they generally have a choice between severance and preferential rehire/recall. Some contracts have reduced severance in addition to preferential rehire/recall. Please consult with your HR Generalist and appropriate contracts for this information. Severance is equal to one week for every full year of University Service accrued but 16 years of service is usually the most used to calculate the severance provided, barring specific contracts.
o HR can provide the analyst an estimate of the amount of severance, which is usually charged to the individual's current funding sources. The analyst would need to indicate the proper funds allocation since federal awards can be charged for these expenses.
o Outplacement costs ($810 for PSS employees and $4K for MSP employees) are obligatory expenses charged to the division (non-‐federal funds) regardless of whether the employee chooses preferential rehire or severance.
Do not notify the employee about layoff plans until the proposed is approved by Labor Relations. The notification period is based on the applicable contract, which is the day that the individual receives the official layoff letter. For example, CUE and UPTE employees must receive 60 days notification. PPSM staff receive 30 days.
Non-‐faculty academics don't receive severance. PIs need to allow 3 months for process from beginning to end to be complete.
Announcements and Updates
RMS is still recruiting for a Team Manager for Team F. There are two candidates currently under consideration.
Revised changes to proposal approval policies and procedures were released by C&G on February 9th through the listserve. Effective February 1st, departmental signature on non-‐competing continuations and sponsor correspondence such as 1st time NCE, CF, rebudgeting and project mods are no longer required. Dean's signature is no longer required for transfer/relinquishments, fund advance requests except those for City and State agreements, and PI Status Waivers.
Upcoming RSA Meetings March 15, 2012 from 8:30-‐10:00 am in LH 376 (Lily Luu and Eric Ormsby) April 19, 2012 from 8:30-‐10:00 am in LH 376 (Kathy Judd) May 17, 2012 from 8:30-‐10:00 am in LH 376 (Wendy Ng) Staff Retreat on June 21, 2012 from 8:30-‐4:00 pm in TBD

ConceptDiscussion of Current Structure
Background on DepCode Background on DPA
Dept ID Structure
20
21
Dept ID is single‐use: Cost Center A distinctly identifiable department, division, or unit of an
organization whose managers are responsible for all its associated costs and for ensuring adherence to its budgets
Dept ID Trees will be used for rollup and grouping in
reporting and budgetingShould mimic the way you manage your business
What is the departmental/divisional breakdown of how you manage? Design should aid in tracking, reporting, and accountability Not necessarily the human resources structure
Not intended to restrict reporting (access to information)
Dept ID
22
Current Structure: DepCode
What is DepCode? DepCode means “Department Code” DepCode resides in the AFP mainframe system A randomly assigned, six‐digit code
How is DepCode used? Identifies the organizational structure Maintain departmental roles and responsibilities As the home department for payroll Track ownership of assets Allow access to on‐line systems
24
Current Structure: DepCode
Problem #1: DepCode has multiple uses
DepCode is used by unrelated systems Payroll, to track Home and Alternate department
Expense postings use Fund‐DPA combination ID Cards, for controlling building access
DepCode is used for unrelated tasks Identify the organizational structure Maintain departmental roles and responsibilities Track assets Allow access to on‐line systems
27
Current Structure: DepCode
Problem #2: DepCode is not a Chartfield
DepCode is only an attribute of other chartfields NCA DPA Fund Program Code
Example If a Fund and DPA combination in a given transaction don’t have the
same DepCode then multiple DepCodes can own the transaction.
Result Reporting results are inconsistent when a transaction contains
chartfields that have differing DepCodes.
28
Current Structure: DepCode
Problem #3: DepCode Tree Structure is Ambiguous
4 types to describe 7 possible levels Campus (Top level with only 1 value, “Chancellor”) Control Point (2nd level) Department (3rd and lower levels) Division (3rd and lower levels)
No enforced symmetry across Control Points School of Nursing uses only two levels SOM & FAS have up to six levels
No designated posting level
29
Current Structure: DPA
What is DPA? DPA means Departmental Account DPA is a chartfield in the current COA structure DPA is a 6 digit code that originally carried built‐in intelligence
1st two digits were Function (e.g., 40 = Instruction) 2nd two digits were School (e.g., 49 = School of Medicine) Last two digits were Department (e.g., Department of Medicine)
How is DPA used? Track Mission, Project, PI activity and/or Department Generate UCOP and other reporting needs Control access to information
30
Current Structure: DPA
DPAs used within a single Department to track Mission

Current Structure: DPA
DPA has multiple uses, leading to a proliferation of codes in order to address… Mission (to be handled by the new Program chartfield) Department (to be handled by the new Dept ID chartfield) Project (to be handled by the new Project chartfield or Flex Field) PI Activity (an attribute within Project) Security (restrict access to reporting)
One of the original goals of the new Chart of Accounts is for each chartfield to have only one purpose Provide consistent reporting Eliminate redundancy
There are more than 16,000 active DPAs today

Project is already being used in the current chart of accounts.The field is automatically populated by a combination of DPA/Fund/Fund
Year and is hidden for data entry and reporting.
In the new COA, the use of the Project field may be expanded beyond Sponsored and Capital projects to include other significant endeavors.
FundResources for various purposes are classified for
accounting and reporting purposes in accordance with activities or objectives as specified by:
Donors Restrictions In accordance with regulations In accordance with directions issued by the governing board Limitations imposed by sources outside the institution Necessitates unique labeling in order to track and control its use
COA is moving to consolidation and shared use of UCOP fund group codes in COA unless it meets definition above UCSF uses approximately 73 UCOP Fund Group Codes, used for summarized
roll‐up as required for UCOP reporting. Fund group codes will become new funds, shared among Dept ID’s No departmental specific unrestricted internally‐designated funds
41
Fund
Funds are classified into major groupings:Current
Funds that are used for the current operations of the University
EndowmentPlant
Funds that account for the acquisition, construction and maintenance of UCSF’s property, plant, and equipment
Loan Designates both federal loan programs and internally designated
programs
Agency Funds not belonging to UCSF
UC Retirement System
42
Strategy for Fund Analysis Perform review of UCOP reporting requirements
Use other chartfields for internally‐designated “buckets” Use Project Chartfield to track restricted activities
Example: Fund: Federal Grants and Contracts Project: NIH Cardiology Study
Expectations Simplified fund structure Large reduction in the number of Funds

Current Fund Strategy
1. Determine fund materiality for elimination Certain funds below a dollar amount may not need conversion
strategy
2. If fund is material, determine if the fund is a Cost Center If YES…it should use a Dept ID
Is it already accounted for in your Dept ID structure? Reference DepCode ownership – provided on spreadsheet to analyst group If not, consider adding, and consider what level it belongs in the tree.
If NO…is it a Project or Flex field? Document a general “Type”, if possible, that describes the entity
If project field is utilized, “Types” will be set up as attribute in project table, and each project will need to fit into pre‐determined types or classes.
COA team will review design after submission on February 28th to finalize project “types”. This will provide consistency among units.
If fund is not a Dept ID and does not fit into project “types”, then the Flex field will be used.
53
Project
A Project assists in tracking a discrete set of activities
Each Project must carry a Project Category/Type attribute Project Types are pre‐defined Project Types must be mutually exclusive with one another Project Type proposals should be brought to COA team with initial
draft design on February 28th
Typical characteristics of a Project Generally, has a lifespan Unique identity not captured by other chartfields

Current Fund Dr. Smith's Research Dr. Smith
The PI attribute on the Project chartfield enables portfolio reporting.
A generic PI project is illustrated research not funded by a contract or grant.
Project/Flex field
Identify “Project Types” or classes of projects: Sponsored research (Contracts and Grants) Clinical drug trials Capital projects PI activity ITS (FAS) PMO (FAS) Affiliation Agreements (LPPI) Recruitment/Startup Gifts
Gifts Gifts – Cost Sharing? Gifts – Recruitment/Start‐up?
When project is not mutually exclusive or does not fall within a “type”, flexfield is utilized
56
Project “Types” (preliminary SOM)
Project “type” classifies a group of activities beyond the UCOP fund group – some proposed SOM project types:
57
Fund Project “type”
S&S‐educational, clinical practice Operating (i.e.,Clinical professional fees)
S&S‐educational, clinical practice MC purchased service
S&S‐educational, clinical practice MC strategic support
S&S‐educational, clinical practice Affiliated hospital agreements
S&S‐educational, med comp plan Operating(i.e., Pre‐clinical professional fees)
