Reconciling Fund Balance With Treasury

Course Introduction

  The Department of the Treasury, pursuant to 31 USC 3513 is required to prepare reports on the financial operations of the United States Government. Furthermore, each executive agency must provide reports and information about its financial conditions and operation to the the Secretary of the Treasury as the Secretary may require. To meet these requirements, the Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service, maintains a system of central accounts that integrates governmentwide financial transactions of 1) the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branch Department and Agencies, 2) Federal Reserve Bank and Branches, 3) Disbursing and Collecting Accountable Offices, and 4) Treasury centrally processed Legislative appropriation, fund, and receipt account authorizations.

In order to control the the governmentwide central accounting system integration process, agencies are required, pursuant to Treasury Financial Manual, Volume I, Part 2, Chapter 5100, Section 5130, to reconcile their Standard General Ledger (SGL) 1010 account balances for each fund symbol with Treasury's records, Fund Balance With Treasury (FBWT) (FMS 6653 and 6655) monthly.
