ACCOUNT NUMBER 1100, Cash in State Treasury and Agency Accounts

A summary account of cash on hand or in deposit in State Treasury and agency accounts used for financial reporting purposes (Accounts 1110 through 1190).

ACCOUNT NUMBER 1110, General Cash (in Agency Accounts with State Treasurer)

Shows cash collected by the agency and deposited or to be deposited in its general checking account for remittance to a fund in the State Treasury, for refund to payers, or for buy back of dishonored checks.  At least once each month receipts determined to be earned, and therefore proper for credit to a fund, are disbursed (remitted) to the State Treasury. Receipts determined to be not due to the state are refunded to payers. Receipts determined to be dishonored are repurchased from banks.  At the end of the fiscal year an adjustment is made to this account for undeposited receipts, as described under Account Number 1190, Cash on Hand in Agency.

ACCOUNT NUMBER 1115, General Cash, Remittance in Transit

Shows cash disbursed (remitted) by the agency to the State Treasury via form CA 21A, Report to State Controller of Remittance to State Account, but not yet credited by the State Controller’s Office to the appropriate accounts. Upon notification from the State Controller’s Office that the money has been ordered into a fund in the State Treasury to the credit of the fund (and appropriation, if any), the agency records the transaction in its accounts and reduces this in-transit account balance.

ACCOUNT NUMBER 1120, Agency Trust Fund Cash (in Agency Accounts with State Treasurer)

Shows trust cash (such as Marketing Act trust, institutional trust, or departmental trust moneys) deposited in agency accounts with the State Treasury which are of a type that will not be remitted to a fund in the State Treasury. Trust cash in an agency account pending remittance to a fund in the State Treasury is recorded in Account Number 1110, General Cash. At the end of the fiscal year an adjustment is made to Account Number 1120 for undeposited receipts as described under Account Number 1190 Cash on Hand in Agency.

Use of this account requires separate accounting and reporting.      In most instances, State of California accounting involves recording and reporting on activities that have occurred in a fund in the State Treasury. There are some exceptions to this procedure, one of which is Agency Trust Fund Cash.  Although Agency Trust Fund cash has not been remitted/identified to a specific fund, the activities must be recorded and reported as if they were activities related to a unique and separate fund. Departments that use this account should keep a separate ledger and prepare separate year-end financial statements for activities of this account. For accounting systems that require an individual fund number to segregate activities, departments are instructed to use Fund Number 0990- Fiduciary Funds Outside the Centralized Treasury System.

ACCOUNT NUMBER 1130, Revolving Fund Cash (in Agency with State Treasurer)

Shows cash advanced from an appropriation in a State Treasury fund for office revolving fund purposes. See SAM Section 8100. The account balance remains the same during the year and will equal the sum of (1) cash on hand, (2) the centralized State Treasury system general checking account balances, plus (3) the Revolving Fund Receivables Ledger balance.  If drawn from a fiscal-year appropriation, the department, at the end of the fiscal year, will request the State Controller to return the advance to the State Treasury or journalize the advance as a return to the appropriation from which it was drawn and a withdrawal from the subsequent fiscal year appropriation. At the end of each fiscal year the change and cash purchase funds and the undeposited receipts are reported in Account Number 1190, Cash on Hand in Agency.

ACCOUNT NUMBER1140, Cash in State Treasury
