61 KB) for the Year Ended 6/30/23 is available on the State Aid website. The content of the 2023-24 reports is the same as the 2022-23 reports. The SA-111 from a database only needs updated dates for the current claim year.

SA-111 Updates - Guidance
On July 24, 2023, Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) has released the new GASB 96 guidance. Once guidance is released the forms will be updated as needed.
SA-111 Reporting
Reminders
The SA-111 should be submitted only via email in pdf format. The change was made in conjunction with the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC); please do not send a paper SA-111 to SED or OSC.
Please email the completed SA-111 in pdf format to:
New York State Education Department:BOCES@nysed.gov
Office of The State Comptroller: afrfile@osc.state.ny.us
Important: The Office of the State Comptroller has a BOCES Annual Report Certification Form which is due at the same time that the SA-111 is filed. Please ensure that the signed certification form is scanned and submitted with the SA-111. The form can be found on the State Comptroller’s website.
Workman’s Compensation Reserve: Pursuant to General Municipal Law (GML) section 6-J, BOCES are precluded from having reserves for Workman’s Compensation. As this is a statutory requirement, such preclusion is out of the control of OSC and NYSED. A legislative change would need to occurs to revise this requirement, and if you feel this should occur please contact your local NYS legislators.
Negative Cash Balances: BOCES should report their actual cash balances as of the end of the school year. If there is negative cash balance resulting from current year expenditures not yet paid as of the end of the year, the negative cash balance should be reported as an accounts payable. BOCES should record the actual date of checks and warrants issued and should not backdate these items, regardless of the year to which the corresponding expenditures are applicable. This would allow the BOCES to both keep their books open for any straggling invoices and statements and be in compliance with the Uniform System of Accounts. Checks should only be written when sufficient funds are in the account to cover the amount of the checks. The checks should be issued promptly after they are written.
Prior Period Adjustments:
- Report any refunds of prior period expenditures as revenue items, not as negative expenditures, with no restatement of prior period financial statements;
- Report any refunds of prior period revenues (amounts erroneously received) as debits to the revenue account originally charged, i.e., as negative revenues, with no restatement of prior period financial statements;
- Report any correction of a material error for a prior period (including the correction of an inappropriate accounting method) as an adjustment to the beginning fund balance, in which case the previous financial statements should be restated;
- Report any change in estimate as an adjustment through the current revenue account, with no restatement of prior period financial statements;
- Report any changes in accounting methods as cumulative effects of the change on the activity statement (Statement of Revenues and Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance), with no restatement of prior period financial statements.
Negative Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable should always be equal to or greater than zero. A negative amount is due to an accounting error.
