Pass Through Fund
In preparation for eventually expanding the cash and check payment program to all libraries in Evergreen Indiana, each member library will need to establish a Pass Through Fund (if you don’t already have one established). According to the State Board of Accounts, payment that libraries accept on behalf of one another must be receipted to the Pass Through Fund and deposited into the bank account on a daily basis. We have set up bookkeeping instructions for the six payment pilot libraries, in accordance with those instructions and you will also find a board resolution template below to establish a Pass Through Fund.
Please note that only the six payment pilot libraries are accepting payment on behalf of one another at this time. We hope to allow all libraries to participate in the cash and check payment program sometime in 2012. You may be certain that an announcement will be made in the Weekly Update blog.
