Florida Administrative Code › 69 - DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES › 69C - Division of Treasury › Chapter 69C-3 - ADMINISTRATION OF CERTAIN STATE FUND INVESTMENTS › Section 69C-3.005 - Allocation of Earnings

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) All funds which
				are on deposit in the Chief Financial Officer will be invested on a daily basis
				except for funds maintained in Chief Financial Officer bank accounts to provide
				for uncollected deposits and balances which compensate the banks for services
				rendered. The funds will be invested in accordance with section
				 17.57, F.S.
(2) The Chief Financial Officer is
				responsible for maintaining records which show the daily balance of each
				account for which earnings will accrue. The Chief Financial Officer will
				calculate the earnings rate each month on an accrual basis. The earnings rate
				will be calculated by totaling accrued interest earnings and capital gains or
				losses taken when an investment instrument is sold before maturity and the
				selling price differs from the accrued value of the instrument. The total
				accrued earnings amount will be distributed to each earning entity based on a
				pro rata share calculated by comparing the average daily balance of that
				earning entity during the month to the total average daily balances of all
				earning entities under the control of the Chief Financial Officer during the
				month. The earnings calculated for each eligible fund will be provided monthly
				to the agency responsible for administering the fund. Earnings will be
				available for transfer after the monthly posting. The Chief Financial Officer
				will also provide a record of debits and credits to each invested balance and
				an account balance. A summary report showing activity and balances for the
				invested balances of eligible funds will be delivered monthly to the Division
				of Accounting and Auditing, the Office of Planning and Budgeting and to the
				Legislature.
(3) As noted in the
				previous sections, earnings will be credited to invested balances using accrual
				accounting methods. The State of Florida operates primarily on a cash basis
				accounting system. The cash receipts of investment earnings will be credited to
				the general revenue fund and to the master trust fund described in subsection
				 69C-3.003(3),
				F.A.C., based on an allocation system pro-rated to match the total accrued
				earnings claim of each of the two funds during the month.
