The Accounting Department, within the Office of Finance, distributes Monthly
Financial Statements to Members, Committees, Officers and Offices of the U.S.
House of Representatives. The Monthly Financial Statement, which is normally
distributed by the ninth business day of the month, reflects the balance as of the
close of the previous month.
After monthly closing and balancing procedures have been completed, the Monthly
Financial Statements are generated for all offices. This is a three-part report
consisting of the following:
Budgeted to Actual: This is a summary showing beginning allowances, transfers,
year-to-date expenses, obligations and available balances. The allowances are
detailed by object class, e.g., personnel, travel, supplies and materials, etc.
Expenditure Summary: This report breaks down the object classes shown on the
Budgeted to Actual page into subclasses, e.g., commercial transportation, lodging,
meals, etc. Each category is reported with the monthly and year-to-date spending.
Detail Report: This report shows details of all disbursements and is grouped by
budget category. Details include the disbursement date, payee, description and
dates of service, check and voucher numbers, and amounts.
If you have not received your Monthly Financial Statement by the middle of the
month, contact your Financial Counselor.
