| Description: |
A companion to the Data Providers’ Guide, the HEGIS Financial Reporting Guide was designed specifically to help institutional staff complete the Financial Statistics of Institutions of Higher Education portion of the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS).
The HEGIS reporting system is now IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System). However, this guide serves as a valuable reference tool for a basic and comprehensive understanding of federal financial reporting requirements. This guide is especially useful to individuals who have new responsibilities for financial reporting. A special feature of the Guide is an activity look-up table for assigning expenditures to functional expenditure categories. The product of a joint NCHEMS/NACUBO effort, this look-up table is consistent with national standards for financial reporting and is identical to the look-up tables in both the Data Providers’ Guide and the NACUBO Administrative Service. |
