DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
REQUIRED BY PUBLIC LAW 100-679
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This Disclosure Statement has been designed to meet the requirements of Public Law 100-679, and persons completing it are to describe the Educational institution and its cost accounting practices. For complete regulations, instructions and timing requirements concerning submission of the Disclosure Statement, refer to Section 9903.202 of Chapter 99 of Title 48 CFR (48 CFR 9903).
2. Part I of the Statement provides general information concerning each reporting unit (e.g., segments, business units, and central system or group (intermediate administration) offices). Parts II through VI pertain to the types of costs generally incurred by the segment or business unit directly performing under Federally sponsored agreements (e.g., contracts, grants and cooperative agreements). Part VII pertains to the types of costs that are generally incurred by a Central or Group office and are allocated to one or more segments performing under Federally sponsored agreements.
3. Each segment or business unit required to disclose its cost accounting practices should complete the Cover Sheet, the Certification, and Parts I through VI.
4. Each central or group office required to disclose its cost accounting practices for measuring, assigning and allocating its costs to segments performing under Federally sponsored agreements should complete the Cover Sheet, the Certification, Part I and Part VII of the Disclosure Statement. Where a central or group office incurs the types of cost covered by Parts IV, V and VI, and the cost amounts allocated to segments performing under Federally sponsored agreements are material, such office(s) should complete Parts IV, V, or VI for such material elements of cost. While a central or group office may have more than one reporting unit submitting Disclosure Statements, only one Statement needs to be submitted to cover the central or group office operations.
5. The Statement must be signed by an authorized signatory of the reporting unit.
6. The Disclosure Statement should be answered by marking the appropriate line or inserting the applicable letter code which describes the segment's (reporting unit's) cost accounting practices.

1.1.0 Description of Your Cost Accounting System
The University of California’s cost accounting system incorporates data accumulated and recorded in the financial accounting system. The financial statements of the University of California are prepared on the accrual basis with the following modifications: Depreciation is recorded only on Endowment and Similar Funds investments in real estate. Certain accruals are omitted such as interest receivable on notes receivable in loan funds and accrued interest payable on plant fund borrowings; the inclusion of such amounts would not have a significant effect on the University’s financial statements. Certain leave and post retirement benefits costs are charged on a cash basis (See items 5.1.0 and 6.2.1 below).
The financial records of the University are maintained in accordance with the standards prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and the National Association of College and University Business Officers. These standards require that financial transactions be recorded within separate funds and that similar funds be categorized into fund groups for purposes of accounting and financial reporting. The fund groups are Current Funds, Endowment and Similar Funds, Plant Funds, Loan Funds, and University of California Retirement System Funds.

1.2.0 Integration of Cost Accounting with Financial Accounting
The financial accounting system is primarily designed to meet fund accounting rather than cost accounting requirements. The financial accounting system accumulates expenditures according to funding source, program purpose and expense categories. The University receives funds from a variety of sources including State and Federal appropriations; government and private contracts and grants; student fees; gifts; and income from University enterprises such as student housing. The funds are used for a wide range of programs including instruction, research, public service, academic support, institutional support, operation and maintenance of plant, student services, student financial aid, and auxiliary enterprises. Salaries, fringe benefits, materials and supplies, and various other categories of expense may be incurred by each program.
The cost accounting system uses data accumulated and recorded by the financial accounting system, but regroups the data as necessary to meet OMB Circular A-21 and CAS requirements. For example, University Development fundraising expenses are recorded by the financial accounting system as institutional support (generally an indirect function), but must be reclassified as direct cost in the Other Institutional Activities base to meet A-21 purposes. A clear audit trail is provided for all reclassifications such that the institution’s cost accounting for a given fiscal year reconciles with its audited financial statements. With respect to directly charged costs of performing sponsored projects, the cost accounting system can be considered integrated with the financial accounting system. Depreciation and Use Allowance costs are not recorded in the financial accounting system; these costs are accumulated by the cost accounting system in memorandum records. Departmental Administration costs are recorded in the financial accounting system, but not separately identified from Instruction and Departmental Research costs. The University’s cost accounting system creates memorandum records separating Departmental Administration costs from Instruction and Departmental Research costs.

1.3.0 Unallowable Costs
Expressly unallowable costs as defined by OMB Circular A-21, Section J, are identified and accumulated in the formal accounting records of the University using designated organization, fund, or account codes, or a combination thereof.
OMB Circular A-21, Section J, identifies specific activities that are unallowable and which must be excluded during the preparation of the University’s indirect cost proposal. Many of these activities are necessary for the operation of an educational institution and are supported by the University’s operations and recognized in the accounting records. These types of unallowable activities, such as fundraising in the Chancellor’s office, are excluded in their entirety by classifying them with the other unallowable expenses in Other Institutional Activities. These adjustments are made as part of the indirect cost rate determination study. Appropriate accounting records and supporting documents are maintained for audit and review purposes.
Salaries and fringe benefits attributable to the administrative work of faculty and other professional personnel are identified in separate cost accounting system work papers and excluded from the development of Departmental Administration cost pools as required by Subparagraph F.6.a.(2)(a) of OMB Circular A-21. The cost accounting system also identifies aggregated administrative costs in excess of the reimbursement limitation described in Paragraph G.7.a. of OMB Circular A-21.
Reviews of compliance with existing policy and procedures are
conducted in the course of required OMB Circular A-133 audits, and as needed
in the judgment of the campus. If additional unallowable costs are identified
in the course of a compliance review, appropriate adjustments are made
in the cost accounting system records.
1.3.1 Treatment of Unallowable Costs
Consistent with Federal regulations, it is the University’s policy not to charge unallowable costs directly or indirectly to Federal awards.
The costs of unallowable activities, whether direct or indirect, are excluded from all indirect cost pools and treated as part of Other Institutional Activities for determining indirect cost rates and allocating costs to a major function or activity.

in A-21, G.7.a. does not affect the allocation of administrative costs
in the University’s cost accounting system; however, it does affect the
indirect cost reimbursement rates applied to Federal awards.
1.5.0 State Laws or Regulations
State regulations place restrictions on the use of State funds,
and also establish financial reporting requirements for various other funds.

2.1.0 Criteria for Determining How Costs are Charged to Federally Sponsored Agreements or Similar Cost Objectives
For all categories of cost charged to Federally sponsored agreements, including materials and supplies, salaries and wages, fringe benefits, travel, consultants, services, subgrants and subcontracts, and miscellaneous expenses, the University’s policy is to comply with Office of Management and Budget guidance in treating costs as either direct or indirect, according to the purpose and circumstances under which the cost was incurred.
Direct costs are those costs that can be identified specifically with a particular sponsored project, an instructional activity, or any other institutional direct activity; or that can be directly assigned to such activities relatively easily with a high degree of accuracy. Identification with the major activity rather than the nature of the goods and services involved is the determining factor in distinguishing direct from indirect costs. For instance, salaries and wages may be treated as direct costs or indirect costs depending on whether the employee is performing a direct institutional activity (such as research) or an indirect institutional activity (such as general university administration).
Academic departments and other organizational units often incur costs for both direct and indirect objectives. In such departments, when administrative and clerical salaries or other costs are charged directly to sponsored projects, care is exercised to assure that costs incurred for the same purpose in like circumstances are consistently treated as direct costs for all activities of the unit. This is accomplished through a direct charge equivalent or other mechanism that assigns the costs directly to the appropriate activities, as recommended by the Office of Management and Budget in its memorandum entitled “Direct Charging of Administrative and Clerical Salaries” dated July 13, 1994, attached as Exhibit A, and by the National Institutes of Health in a notice in the NIH Guide dated September 23, 1994, attached as Exhibit B.
Costs that are normally considered indirect may be treated as direct costs if the purposes and circumstances for which the costs are incurred are different, and they meet all of the following conditions:
(1) The cost is required to be incurred by the project scope;
(2) The cost can be specifically identified to the project; and
(3) The cost is explicitly budgeted in the award.

2.1.0 Criteria for Determining How Costs are Charged to Federally Sponsored Agreements or Similar Cost Objectives (continued)
When an agency permits rebudgeting for these items, if need arises after
award, and the cost meets the first two criteria, the third criteria is
not required.
The major functions specific to the reporting unit are identified
as direct cost bases in its indirect cost proposals. Separate rates, including
on- and off-campus rates when appropriate, are negotiated with the University’s
cognizant Federal agency for all major functions that include Federal awards.
Indirect costs are those costs that are incurred for common or joint objectives and therefore cannot be identified readily and specifically with a particular sponsored project, an instructional activity, or any other direct institutional activity, subject to the limitations and exclusions mandated by OMB Circular A-21.

2.2.0 Description of Direct Materials
Direct materials and supplies are those materials and supplies that can be identified specifically with a particular sponsored project, an instructional activity, or any other institutional activity; or that can be directly assigned to such activities relatively easily with a high degree of accuracy. Categories of such materials and supplies include, but are not limited to, freight costs, laboratory and other supplies and equipment (non-inventorial), printing supplies, publication costs/page charges, and reference books and periodicals.
Academic departments and other organizational units often incur
materials and supplies costs for both direct and indirect objectives. In
such departments, when materials and supplies are charged directly to sponsored
projects, care is exercised to assure that costs incurred for the same
purpose in like circumstances are consistently treated as direct costs
for all activities of the unit. This is accomplished through a direct
charge equivalent or other mechanism that assigns the costs directly to
the appropriate activities, as recommended by the Office of Management
and Budget in its memorandum entitled “Direct Charging of Administrative
and Clerical Salaries” dated July 13, 1994, attached as Exhibit A, and
by the National Institutes of Health in a notice in the NIH Guide dated
September 23, 1994, attached as Exhibit B.
2.3.2 Inventory Requisitions from Central or Common, Institution-owned Inventory
Inventory requisitions from central inventory are charged to projects based on an average cost per unit which is adjusted whenever new purchases are added to the inventory. The cost of the new goods (net of discounts taken) is added to the value of the existing inventory and a new average unit cost is determined. When goods are taken out of inventory, the value of the inventory is reduced based on the average unit cost in effect.
Requisitions from central inventory are also assessed a surcharge for storage, service and handling in addition to the inventory valuation described above. The surcharge rate is calculated by dividing the anticipated operating costs of the central inventory unit by the anticipated inventory sales based on the average cost valuation described above. The surcharge rate is recalculated annually, and any surplus or deficit resulting from the application of the prior year’s rate is reflected as a carryforward adjustment to the new rate.

2.4.0 Description of Direct Personal Services
Direct personal services costs consist of individual faculty,
staff and student salaries and wages and associated fringe benefits in
proportion to their effort on each direct activity. Also included
as direct personal service costs are overtime, premium pay, shift differential,
and remote location allowance paid to non-exempt employees.
2.5.0 Method of Charging Direct Salaries and Wages
Salaries and wages can be charged either (a) by exception or (b) by positive time reporting, depending on job classification.
(a) By exception: Salaries and wages for staff with monthly pay are based on the Personnel Action Form (PAF). Payment is made based on the most recent effective PAF data entered into the Payroll Personnel System.
(b) Positive time reporting: Salaries and wages for temporary and casual staff, students, and others (academics other than faculty) are based on time reports, noting hours worked for each pay period.
Employees charged in part or in whole to federal or federal flow-through
funds must complete after-the-fact activity records (Personnel Activity
Report), and make adjustments if significant differences are indicated,
as required by A-21, J.8.c.(2)(b).
2.5.1 Salary and Wage Cost Distribution Systems
Employees whose salaries and wages are not directly charged to
any Federal funds are not required to complete after-the-fact activity
records. As a rule, the salary and wages of an employee who is not
working on sponsored agreements or similar cost objectives are entirely
assignable to a single indirect or direct cost objective. The personal
services expenses attributable to such an employee are included in the
appropriate indirect cost accumulation pool or direct allocation base along
with the other costs of the pool or base, identified through the financial
accounting system by function, organization, fund, and account code.
The main exception to the above rule occurs in academic departments and
other organizational units when a direct charge equivalent or similar mechanism
is used, whereby an equitable portion of the salaries and wages that would
otherwise be classified as departmental administration is treated as a
direct cost to assure consistent costing treatment for all activities of
the unit.
2.5.2 Salary and Wage Cost Accumulation System
Salary and wages (including premium pay) paid by the University to its employees are processed through the University’s payroll system. The following on line systems and forms are used to record salaries and wages in each fund: payroll/personnel systems updates, payroll expense transfers, payroll time reporting, payroll expense reporting, and Personnel Activity Reports (PARs). A specific fund source(s), program purpose(s) and amount(s) of pay must be identified for each individual payment of salaries and wages before processing. The information accumulated in the payroll system is posted to the general ledger of the University’s financial accounting system. Payroll costs posted to sponsored projects are recovered through the sponsors as direct costs. The amounts posted to individual federally sponsored projects may be adjusted later based on the information provided in the after-the-fact activity report.

2.6.0 Description of Direct Fringe Benefits Costs
Fringe benefits that are charged to federally sponsored agreements of similar cost objectives are as follows:
1. Compensated Personal
Absences - This includes holidays, sick leave, vacation, sabbatical leave
and other paid leaves permitted under UCR policy (e.g., jury duty).
2. FICA - This is
the employer’s portion of the old age, survivor and disability insurance
and hospital insurance taxes.
3. Worker’s Compensation
Insurance - The plan covers employee medical expenses and loss of income
resulting from work related illness or injury.
4. Medical Insurance
- The UCR paid portion of medical insurance provided to employees includes,
health, dental and optical insurance.
5. Tuition Remission
- Graduate student researchers and teaching assistants employed at 25%
time or more are eligible to have their partial fees paid. Graduate student
researchers employed at 45% time or more are eligible to have their partial
fees and non-resident tuition paid.
6. Life Insurance - Employees
are provided life insurance coverage based on an annualized salary until
an employee reaches a prescribed age. Additional life insurance and
accidental death and dismemberment insurance is also available at a cost
to the employee.
7. Retirement Programs
- Employees that meet specific criteria are eligible to receive contributions
to their retirement accounts which include the UCRS retirement program,
PERS retirement program and the Teachers Insurance Annuity Association-
College Retirement Equities Fund.
8. Annuitant
Health and Dental Insurance - Provided to retired employees.
9. Incentive
Award Program - Awards given to employees for exceptional performance.
10. Employee Support
Program - Health and welfare programs provided to employees that includes,
wellness, accident prevention and safety, and substance and abuse programs.
The University does not separately classify fringe benefits as direct or indirect costs; rather, the costing treatment of a given employee’s fringe benefits is consistent with, and in proportion to, the costing treatment of that employee’s salary and wages. Direct fringe benefits costs are those that are attributable to an employee’s direct personal services costs.

2.7.0 Description of Other Direct Costs
Subcontracts are identifiable specifically with a particular sponsored project or other activity and are for that reason treated as direct costs.
Advertising for recruitment of personnel, animal care, consultant services, inventorial equipment, laboratory and other testing services, printing and reprographics, professional services, rental of space, repairs/maintenance of equipment, scholarships/student aid, shop services, communication costs (telephone, FAX, cellular service, pagers and mail), travel (domestic and foreign), and vehicle rental costs are treated as direct costs when they can be identified specifically with a particular sponsored project, an instructional activity, or any other institutional activity; or can be directly assigned to such activities relatively easily with a high degree of accuracy. Academic departments and other organizational units often incur expenses in these categories for both direct and indirect objectives. In such departments, when the above mentioned direct costs are charged directly to sponsored projects, care is exercised to assure that costs incurred for the same purpose in like circumstances are consistently treated as direct costs for all activities of the unit. This is accomplished through a direct charge equivalent or other mechanism that assigns the costs directly to the appropriate activities, as recommended by the Office of Management and Budget in its memorandum entitled “Direct Charging of Administrative and Clerical Salaries” dated July 13, 1994, attached as Exhibit A, and by the National Institutes of Health in a notice in the NIH Guide dated September 23, 1994, attached as Exhibit B.
2.8.0 Cost Transfers
When Federally sponsored agreements or similar cost objectives are credited for cost transfers to other projects, grants or contracts, the credit amount for direct charges is always based on the same amount or rate originally used to charge or allocate costs to the project. The credit amount for indirect costs is based on the indirect cost rate in effect at the time of the transfer, which in some instances may differ from the indirect cost rate at the time of the original charge. The differences, if any, do not result in a material impact on Federal awards.

3.1.0 Indirect Cost Categories - Accumulation and Allocation
Note: except for (a) below, indirect cost expenses are recorded and accumulated as current funds expenses in the University’s financial accounting system. But because the financial accounting system was not created for OMB Circular A-21 and Cost Accounting Standards purposes, some regrouping of the recorded costs is necessary. For example, University development fundraising activity is recorded by the financial accounting system as Institutional Support (the equivalent of general administrative and general expense), but must be reclassified as Other Institutional Activity to meet Circular A-21 purposes. Such reclassifications are generally based on attributes found in the financial accounting system data (e.g., financial accounts linked to the Development Office in the foregoing example are reclassified from Institutional Support to Other Institutional Activity). The reclassified costs are reconcilable to the University’s audited financial statements.
(a) Depreciation/Use Allowance/Interest:
Buildings: A subsystem of the University’s financial accounting system records the capitalized value of buildings, and the Federal contribution to each, by building. The cost accounting system uses this information to calculate depreciation/use allowance costs in accordance with Section J.12. of OMB Circular A-21.
Equipment: The University’s financial accounting system records the category, funding source, and capitalized value of items of equipment. The cost accounting system uses this information to calculate depreciation/use allowance costs in accordance with Section J.12. of OMB Circular A-21.
Capital Improvements to Land: The University’s financial accounting system records the capitalized value of improvements to land and other general improvements. The cost accounting system uses this information to calculate depreciation/use allowance costs in accordance with Section J.12. of OMB Circular A-21.
Interest: Interest expense on University debt, including State of California capital leases, is included in the University’s financial accounting system. The University’s prorated share of the State of California General Obligation interest cost is shown on State and University memorandum records.
(b) Operation and Maintenance: Costs are identified, recorded and accumulated in the financial accounting system (but see Note above).

of capital assets which are computed in accordance with OMB Circular A-21
Sections J.12. and J.22.e.
Buildings: The University’s financial accounting system
records the capitalized value of buildings, and the Federal contribution
to each, by building number. Use allowance expenses are calculated
in accordance with Section J.12. of OMB Circular A-21.
Equipment: The University’s equipment management system records the category, funding source and capitalized value of items of equipment. Equipment not purchased with Federal funds is depreciated on a straight-line basis according to useful life tables developed by the University.
Capital Improvements to Land: A use allowance of 2% of the non-Federal cost of capital improvements is taken.
Interest: Only interest allowable under the provisions of OMB Circular A-21 Section J.22.e. is included in indirect cost. Interest expense on University debt, including State of California capital leases, is included in the University’s financial accounting system. The University’s prorated share of the State of California General Obligation interest cost is shown on State and University memorandum records.
(b) Operation and Maintenance: The expenses under this heading are indirect costs (see Part II for the distinction between direct and indirect costs) that have been incurred for the administration, maintenance, preservation, and protection of the institution’s physical plant. They include expenses normally incurred for such items as janitorial and utility services; repairs and ordinary or normal alterations of buildings, furniture and equipment; care of grounds; maintenance and operation of buildings and other plant facilities; security; earthquake and disaster preparedness; environmental safety; hazardous waste disposal; property, liability and all other insurance relating to property; space and capital leasing, facility planning and management; and, central receiving.

4.1.1 Asset valuations are consistent with those used in the institution’s financial statements; however, the University does not report depreciation on its financial statements nor is it required to under GASB rules.
4.3.0 Since the University does not report depreciation on its financial statements, gains and losses on disposition of depreciable property are not recognized in the financial accounting system. The actual gains and losses experienced by the University do not impact sponsored agreements costs.
4.4.0 Moveable equipment is capitalized if the per-item cost (or fair market value if donated) is $500 or more, and its useful life is two years or more. There is no minimum dollar threshold for capitalization of other assets; however, other assets must have a useful life of two years or more to be capitalized.

Instructions for Part VI
This part covers the measurement and assignment of costs for employee pensions, post retirements benefits other than pensions (including post retirement health benefits) and insurance. Some organizations may incur all of these costs at the main campus level or for public institutions at the governmental unit level, while others may incur them at subordinate organization levels. Still others may incur a portion of these costs at the main campus level and the balance at subordinate organization levels.
Where the segment (reporting unit) does not directly incur such costs, the segment should, on a continuation sheet, identify the organizational entity that incurs and records such costs. When the costs allocated to Federally sponsored agreements are material, the reporting unit should require that entity to complete the applicable portions of this Part VI.

6.1.1 Defined Contribution Plans
The University offers
eligible employees a tax-deferred retirement plan described under section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401 (a) plan features separate
accounts for non-elective pretax contributions and elective after-tax contributions.
The University also offers eligible employees a tax-deferred retirement
plan described under section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Contributions to the 403 (b) program are made on a pretax basis and participation
in the plan is voluntary.
6.1.2 Defined-Benefit Pension Plan
Actuarial cost method(s): Actuarial cost is determined using different actuarial methodologies to satisfy different reporting and disclosure standards. They are:
(1) For funding: Normal cost and Actuarial Accrued Liability-Entry Age Normal
(2) For determining GASB 5-Pension Benefit Obligation: Projected Unit Credit
(3) For determining the FASB 35-ABO: Unit Credit
Asset valuation method: Actuarial value of assets is determined using the adjusted market value method -- the expected market value plus investment gains/losses amortized over a five-year period. On July 1, 1994, the University set the actuarial value of assets equal to the market value of assets.
Criteria for changing actuarial assumptions and computations: Past experience trends and future expectations are considered and are periodically reviewed by The Regents and the trustees of the UC Retirement Plan. Currently the following assumptions are used:
Economic assumptions: investment return; annual rates of increase in salaries (inflation component plus merit and promotion component); consumer price index.
Demographic assumptions: mortality (1983 Group Mortality Table set back two years); termination rates, based on plan experience; disability rates, based on plan experience; disabled mortality, 1987 Group Long Term Disability Table; retirement; form of benefit payment; percentage married; spouse ages, wives 3 years younger than husbands; number of dependents of married members; refund probability; future service for part-time employees; entry age; administrative expenses.

Amortization periods for prior service costs: Currently
there are no prior service costs to be amortized.
Amortization periods for actuarial gains and losses: Currently there is no amortization of actuarial gains and losses.
Funding Policy: The Regents' funding policy provides for actuarially
determined periodic contributions at rates that provide for sufficient
assets to be available when benefits are due, measured in line with the
tax-deductible contribution limits set forth in IRC Sec. 412. The contribution
rate is determined using the entry age normal actuarial funding method.
The significant actuarial assumptions used to compute the actuarially determined
contribution requirement are the same as those used to compute the pension
benefit obligation.
