Slide 2
By the end of this tutorial, you will know what the budget tool is, the purpose of the budget tool, how often the budget tool must be used and how to access the budget tool.

Slide 3
The budget tool is an online web tool that allows CSP sub-recipients to track and report project award expenditures and inventory. Per federal and state regulations, the Charter Schools Program office must ensure internal control over compliance of all CSP Grant Projects (2 CFR 200.62). The budget tool will support the monitoring of reported expenditures. 

Slide 4
The purpose of the budget tool is to provide a streamlined method of communication between CSP sub-recipients and the program office regarding the use of project funds to ensure fiscal accountability of CSP Grant funds. 

Slide 5
Ideally, the budget tool should be used each time a CSP sub-recipient incurs an approved expense using CSP grant funds. At a minimum, CSP sub-recipients must utilize the budget tool monthly to report regular grant expenditures.  Note that beginning with the 2016 CSP grant cohorts,  all budget expenditures must be reported online via the budget tool. In addition, the program office will request monthly submissions of your school’s Itemized Expenditure Report.  Should this report not be completed and received by the program office, your school will be considered non-compliant.

If you are unable to access the budget tool, make sure the school’s Board Chair Contact information has been submitted on the Contact Information tab and that all Planning/Implementation Required Documents have been uploaded to the Documents section. You will have to wait for the program office to enter your budget items before expenditures may be reported in the Budget Tool.
