Current Fringe Benefits Rates

Cost Accounting University and Federal  

Regulations

o        Cost Transfers

A cost transfer is an accounting entry that transfers costs between accounts to correct an accounting or clerical error in the original entry. The University of Pittsburgh and Federal Guidelines do not allow for transfers over 90 days.

o        Effort Reporting

Effort reporting is the disclosure, accounting and reporting of an individual's proportional time spent on University activities expressed as a percentage of total time. Effort reporting is essential for the proper accounting of salary and wage expenses.

o        Cost Sharing

An example of cost sharing is any personnel listed on the project budget (showing percentage effort) for whom no salary is requested in the budget, or if salary is requested, it is less than what is needed to pay for the entire percentage effort not in the budget, in addition to the fringe benefits and indirect costs associated with those costs, would be considered cost sharing.
