Introduction Under RCW 43.09.200, the State Auditor’s Office (SAO) has prescribed the use of a uniform chart of accounts and procedures for Category I and II governmental entities.
Under the SAO’s Budgeting Accounting and Reporting System (BARS) manual, Public Health is recorded as the expenditure category of 562.00 with the statement: “The department or agencies actually performing these services will use the detailed chart of accounts in the appropriate BARS support system available from ... the state agency responsible for the program”.
The Department of Health (DOH) is the central point to gather information for public health related programs. It is DOH’s desire to be able to consolidate information from all 35 health jurisdictions for preparation of accurate reports that will reflect statewide program activities and funding sources. DOH’s BARS Supplemental Handbook for Public Health is intended to provide guidelines to ensure uniform reporting on revenues according to sources and expenditures by type of broad service categories for public health activities.

The following revenue accounts are those most frequently used by local health jurisdictions. For additional information and detailed account listings, refer to the State Auditor’s BARS manual Part 1, Chapter 3. 291.70 Beginning Fund Balance 292.70 These accounts record the estimated and actual amounts of 308.00 fund balance at the beginning of the year; that is, the excess of fund assets over liabilities. 308.10 Reserved Fund Balance 308.80 Unreserved Fund Balance 310.00 Taxes 320.00 Licenses and Permits Charges for the issuance of licenses and permits. Licenses are required for selected trades, occupations, and other activities for regulatory purposes. These businesses and activities are selected because of health, safety, or security hazards which might arise in the absence of regulation. Licenses may be accompanied by inspection of the premises by city, county, or state departments. Inspection may be repeated upon renewal of the license. License fees are usually designed to cover the cost of administration, inspection and continuing services in connection with regulation. If inspection charges are assessed separately, they should be coded as 342.40. Permits are issued to aid regulation of new business activities. Some represent public control over private activity while other permits regulate private use of public property. Issuance of permits protects the property from dangerous or unauthorized use. 321.00 Business Licenses and Permits Proceeds from the issuance of licenses and permits to businesses and occupations that must be licensed before doing business within a governmental unit. 321.20 Health 322.00 Non-Business Licenses and Permits 322.10 Buildings, Structures and Equipment Example: Septic Tank Permits 330.00 Intergovernmental Revenue Grants, entitlements, shared revenues and payments for goods and services provided by one government to another. 331.00.00 Direct Federal Grants Cash or other assets furnished by the federal government to local governments under contractual arrangements that provide aid to local governments. Programs provided by the federal government are classified into 15 types of assistance: eight nonfinancial and seven financial types of assistance. The seven types of financial assistance that are available to state and local governments are: formula grants; project grants; direct payments; direct loans; guaranteed/insured loans; insurance; sale, exchange, or donation of property and goods. Most federal financial assistance is in the form of cash awards, but there are programs that do not involve cash transactions (e.g. vaccine supplied). Direct federal grants are distinguished from indirect grants by the fact that direct grants are received from a federal department or agency without passing through an intermediary state or local government or other nonfederal agency. 332.00.00 Federal Entitlements, Impact Payments, and In-Lieu Taxes Cash furnished by the federal government to local governments based on a distribution formula. Entitlements are distributed per capita or based on some eligibility requirements. 333.00.00 Indirect Federal Grants Indirect federal grants are distinguished from direct grants by the fact that they are passed through one or more intermediary governments or nonfederal agencies before reaching the local government. 334.00.00 State Grants Cash or other assets furnished by the state government to local governments directly or indirectly, through another local government, under contractual arrangements that provide aid or reimburse the local government. Code state grants by the state agency which provides the grant using the element, subelement and unit fields. Do not confuse state grants with grants received from the state but originating with the federal government; when the state is acting as an agent of the federal government, the grants should be classified as indirect federal grants, account 333. Be careful to segregate federal indirect moneys from state matching grants, which may be paid on the same state remittance. The coding applies whether such arrangements are called awards, grants, block grants, subsidies, programs, cost reimbursement, contracts, or agreements. STATE AGENCIES (examples of other state agencies who may pass money to LHJ’s): 334.03.1X Department of Ecology 334.03.5X Traffic Safety Commission 334.04.2X Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development (DCTED) 334.04.6X Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) See BARS Manual (1.1.3) for a complete list of state agencies. 335.00.00 State Shared Revenues Moneys which represent the local government’s portion of a revenue levied and collected by the state. 336.00.00 State Entitlements, Impact Payments, and In-Lieu Taxes Moneys furnished by the state government to local governments based on a distribution formula, either per capita or according to some eligibility criteria, such as local taxing efforts, qualifying employees, or clients served. 336.04.23 I 695 Replacement Funds - Public Health State distributed financial assistance for the purpose of public health. Replaces revenue code 335.00.82, the excise tax revenues lost as the result of the Legislature's elimination of the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax in response to the passage of I 695. 337.00.00 Interlocal Grants, Entitlements, Impact Payments, and In-Lieu Taxes Cash or other assets furnished by one unit of local government to another unit of local government, other than for services rendered or goods provided. 338.00 Intergovernmental Service Revenues To record the revenue derived by one unit of government for performing a service that is the statutory responsibility of another unit of government. Shared costs of providing services are included within these accounts. These accounts will appear on the books of the governmental unit that actually performs the work. The payment may be based on actual costs or a fixed fee. 338.62 Public Health 338.64 Mental Health 338.66 Substance Abuse 338.68 Developmental Disabilities Also may use the last 2 digits to delineate between County general health pool contributions and special purposecontributions (e.g. 338.62.01, 338.62.02, etc.)
Also use account 338.00 to code federal funds received as
fee for service. To aid proper classification when compiling and comparing data
statewide, include 338.97.78 Medicaid Title XIX (Fee for Service) 338.97.74 Medicare-Supplemental Medical Insurance (Fee for Service) 338.92.68 Perinatal Hep B (Fixed Fee) 338.84.18 ITEIP, CICC, IDEA Part H (Fixed Fee) 340.00 Charges for Goods and Services 346.00 Mental and Physical Health 346.10 Hospital, Assisted Living, and Convalescent Center 346.20 Public Health Clinic Include daily and ancillary services.

Revenue Codes for Indirect Federal Grants Administered by DOH All BARS revenue codes for federal grants use abbreviated versions of the numbers assigned by the federal government in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). The CFDA codes are in two parts, the first two digits identify the federal agency where the funding originates, and the last three identify the grant program itself. Refer to BARS Manual (Part 1, Chapter 3) for more details. Grants from all federal agencies except DHHS will be coded using the first three digits of the number assigned that program in the CFDA. For grants that DOH administers, the last digit of the CFDA number is the seventh digit number in the BARS code. CFDA BARS 10.557 Special Supplemental Nutrition Program-WIC 333.10.57 10.572 WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program 333.10.52 10.561 Food Stamp Nutrition Education 333.10.51 Grants from the federal DHHS will be coded using the last three digits of the CFDA number preceded by a “9”. The catalog number of all DHHS grants begins with 93. Since there are numerous DHHS grants to distinguish and since the BARS is limited to 7 digits, the 93 is substituted by the number 9.

Philosophy of Reporting
The Philosophy of Reporting according to the SAO’s BARS Manual is to provide useful financial information for making decisions, demonstrating accountability, and evaluating managerial and organizational performance. The BARS A Report is a required report for the Consolidated Contract. The report should be inclusive of the revenues and expenditures for the entire public health agency. This is vital for analysis of the public health funding for all agencies and may assist in providing additional funding for public health systems development. Reporting BARS A Reports submitted to the Department of Health are published in summary form in the Revenue Summary--Funding of Local Health Jurisdictions. This report lists activity by BARS expenditure code and major revenue category (e.g. DOH State, Other State, DOH Federal, Other Federal, etc.) BARS A reports for the most recent two years may also be found on the Department of Health's website. It can be found on the DOH homepage at www.doh.wa.gov under the link to "Publications". On the "Publications" page, the reports are listed under "Publications/Reports A-Z", under "R". The BARS A Report should be a reflection of the Health Jurisdiction’s financial statements (Schedules 04, 05, and 16 of the BARS Manual). Financial reporting plays a major role in fulfilling government’s duty to be publicly accountable –
GASB Concept
Statement No. 1, Objective of Financial Reporting Reporting Requirements
Expenditure and Revenue Reporting Obligation(BARS A Report) The BARS A Report is essential to fulfill the financial reporting obligation, and for program expenditure and revenue reconciliation. The optimal way of billing for costs incurred for contractual activities is reimbursement of actual costs. OMB Circular A-87 states, “provision for profit or other increment above cost is outside the scope of this Circular". In other words, profit is not allowed in federal grants administered by DOH. Care and timely reconciliation are necessary to prevent billing for amounts in excess of cost. Please report revenues and expenditures by submitting one BARS A Report for the January 1 to December 31 period. The report should be submitted to DOH no later than March 15 of each year. There is no longer a requirement for a BARS B (Budget)
report or a six
month BARS A report at the end of June.
