1 Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Accounting for Unallowable Costs Federal regulations guide the accounting for many of the charges that we incur on sponsored agreements, whether as direct charges or as indirect charges. Attached is a reminder regarding the costs which can not be charged to a federally-funded grant or contract. Many of these costs may be allowable under Vanderbilt policy when paid for from unrestricted or non-governmental restricted funds. Because we are in our base year for indirect cost purposes, it is important that all unallowable charges be charged to the proper account code in our accounting system. Although the regulations have not changed in recent years, please take this opportunity to refresh your department s method of accounting for such costs. Many costs which are specifically identified as unallowable for federal funding purposes may be allowable if paid for from non-governmental funds. As a result, special attention should be given to properly account for such costs if they are paid for from institutional or non-governmental funds. Following is a list of those costs which are specifically prohibited by the federal government: Advertising for general promotion of the University, including printed materials, promotional items, memorabilia, gifts and souvenirs Alcoholic beverages Alumni or fundraising activities Antiques Bad debt write offs Charitable contributions Commencement expenses Decorative objects for private offices Entertainment Fine/original art Fines and penalties First-class/business-class air travel differentials Flowers Gifts and awards Goods or services for personal use Lobbying Membership in airline travel clubs Membership in civic, social, community organizations or country clubs Selling or marketing products or services of the University Social events provides additional detail on some of the costs that may be allowable in the Medical Center. For all costs, the federal government will allow only those costs that are reasonable, allocable, properly documented, and consistently charged throughout the University. Reasonable costs are defined by the government as those that reflect the action that a prudent person would have taken under the circumstances prevailing at the time the decision to incur the cost was made (OMB Circular A-21 K.c.3). All costs must be reasonable and necessary. Costs are considered allocable if they are charged or assignable to a particular cost objective in accordance with relative benefits received or other equitable relationships. Properly documented costs are those for which valid supporting invoices or receipts are provided or are within established University guidelines for reimbursement. October 2002
2 Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Accounting for Unallowable Costs Consistency in charging costs means that costs are treated similarly whether charged to government grants or to University funds and are given consistent treatment through application of generally accepted accounting principles. We recognize the effort and judgment necessary to comply with these cost principles, particularly for your unrestricted expenditures, and we appreciate those efforts. Please make every effort to ensure that all costs falling into these categories are charged to the proper account codes, and please do not hesitate to call Craig Carmichel, Steve Todd or Melissa Smith as questions and issues arise. October 2002
