Study Notes
Funds Availability and Correction
- Funds must be available at the lowest administrative level (appropriation, apportionment, allotment, suballotment, allocation) where an ADA violation occurred.
- Using incorrect fiscal year funds can be corrected if proper funds were available throughout the entire period from obligation to correction.
- Corrections require that amounts were available at the time of error and at the time of correction, with necessary accounting adjustments made moving forward.
General Violations of ADA
- Exceeding statutory limitations on amounts authorized in appropriations or funds, including special limitations, results in ADA violations.
- Incremental construction acquisitions or improvements through minor projects are prohibited under 10 U.S.C. § 2801(b).
- Engineering personnel must adhere to maintenance and repair fund limitations for family housing units under 10 U.S.C. § 2825, with Congress notified if limits are exceeded.
Misclassification and Potential Violations
- Misclassification of construction costs as alterations can lead to ADA violations if totals exceed statutory limits.
- An engineering project with near statutory limit construction costs may breach limits if it later qualifies as construction rather than maintenance.
Working Capital Funds Violations
- Exceeding amounts available in working capital (revolving) funds is a violation of 31 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)(A).
- Obligating funds in excess of available amounts in working capital funds is prohibited and can incur penalties under 31 U.S.C. § 1517.
Accountability and Reporting
- Duty includes coordinating with personnel to correct potential violations and documenting proper accounting corrections.
- Fund control personnel must provide certification to support a determination of possible violations under 31 U.S.C. §§ 1341 or 1517.
Obligations Incurred in Advance
- Obligating in advance of proper appropriations (31 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)(B)) won't be regarded as violations if sufficient funds are available to cover the obligation.
- To cure potential ADA violations, ensure proper funds are legally available for correction through fund substitution, and document this process in the report.
