Financial Templates

Your guides to fruitful budgeting and financial reporting

The financial statement templates have been updated from earlier versions. The current financial templates are to be downloaded only from this Web site. Please destroy any Resource CDs that the district may still have on hand as the information contained on them may no longer be valid.

WHQ has received numerous suggestions for improvement and each comment is appreciated and noted when designing the current year's financial forms.

Please contact the Controller or call 949-858-8255 with any questions or comments.

NOTE: The templates are contained in a “zip” file and are excel based.

There are two types of forms available, Non-U.S. and U.S. The Non-U.S. forms are to be used by districts that transact in their local currency. The U.S. forms are designed for those who record transactions and bank in U.S. dollars.

  1. Select the appropriate form:
    2007-2008 U.S. Financial Reports
    2007-2008 Non-U.S. Financial Reports
    2008-2009 U.S. Financial Reports
    2008-2009 Non-U.S. Financial Reports
    You may be asked whether you want to open or save the file. Select the "open" option.
  2. If a WinZip screen pops up, choose the evaluation version to unzip the files. Depending on the computer system, this screen may not pop up.
  3. Highlight all of the file names.
  4. Click the Extract button and choose the correct drive. All files should be located in the folder C:\My Documents\2007-2008 Financial Forms\ . Answer "YES" to automatically update linked files. If the folder does not exist, it will need to be created. If the files are not located in the correct folder and named as noted above, the financial forms will not link correctly.

Where to begin
The annual budget must be completed before starting on the July monthly financial statement. All future financial statements are linked to the budget and/or the prior month statement. Descriptions entered in the white boxed cells carry forward to the next month. These cells are not password protected. However, some cells are grey and are purposely locked. These cells contain formulas to calculate and balance the financial forms. These grey cells are password protected and cannot be changed.

For instructions on completing the budget, review the document titled District Budget Data Entry.
