Citing insufficient funds in the surplus account.
ASUO comptrollers have frozen all Incidental Fee
Committee action memos authorizing expendi
tures from the surplus account
"Our current records show that we don't have
sufficient funds," ASUO head comptroller Tin
Huu Bui said
Comptrollers, who keep track of all ASUO bud
get line items for student groups and various
reserve accounts, took action in late July to avoid
putting the surplus account into deficit.
The surplus account is used to pay for IFC
approved special requests made by incidental fee
programs. Currently. EMU accounting said there is
only $100 left in surplus.
This falls well short of the approximately $5,300
the IFC approved from surplus during the summer
to lie given to a number of ASUO programs. Also,
campus radio station KWVA is slated to receive
$12,000 to buy equipment it could not purchase
last fiscal year, leaving more than $12,000 in its
1092-93 budget unspent.
However, there should be tens of thousands of
dollars available in the surplus account soon For
mer ASUO finance coordinator Neil Sunnell and
head comptroller Ebon Brady are nearly finished
with the post-close, which determines the end of
the fiscal year balance for all incidental fees
At the end of every fiscal year, the ASUO
Finance Department examines every budget line
item, recording the final positive or negative bal
ance These balances are then "washed" into the
surplus account.
So long ns the unused funds are larger than
deficit spending, the surplus account will increase.
Fast year the increase to surplus was more than
$100,000. The comptrollers do not expe< t the fig

ure to I*) that large this year.
Bui said he cannot use the EMU's post close sur
plus figure before their own pout-close is complete
"We have to make sure that their figures are i or
reel. That's what the [Hist-close is for,” Bui said
The three-member summer Incidental Fee Coni
nnttee has finished conducting business, and none
of tlie member* could I hi reached for comment
Bui said he met with some members of the IFC
and discussed the situation lie said the IFC was
satisfied and only asked that the comptrollers send
memos to the affected groups, whit h Bui said he
did.
Bui said that as soon as the post-dose is finished L_
the comptrollers will begin processing the at turn
sheets.
Kven though Bui was on vacation when the
holding action was initiated, he said he stands by
his assistants' decision and would have probably
made the same choii e
Bui said he was surprised the IFC approved the
special requests bei ause before leaving for vaca
lion he asked IFC summer Chairwoman Fsther
Wong not to take funds from surplus until the
post-close was completed
"I advised Fsther not to allocate from surplus
until we have a i barer picture.” Bui said '"I was a
little hit surprised and disturbed to i orne bat k to
learn that the IFC had given out funds from stir
plus.”
