Agencies/Departments must submit a Report No. 14, Report of Accounts Outside the State Treasury, to report accounts outside the Centralized Treasury System (CTS) in which state money is deposited or must indicate that there are no accounts to report. SAM Section 8002 provides detailed information on accounts outside the CTS. Agencies/Departments may be authorized by statute or by approval from the Department of Finance, Fiscal Systems and Consulting Unit (FSCU) to maintain accounts outside of the CTS. SAM Section 19462 and Government Code Section 16305.2 provide additional information on bank accounts.

Requirements for Completing Report No. 14

Agencies/Departments must complete the following requirements:

  • Submit the Report No. 14 annually via the Financial Information System for California. Submit one Report No. 14 per agency/department. For information on the year-end report due dates, see SAM Section 7930. For information on year-end report distribution requirements, see SAM Section 7951.
  • Report No. 14 must include the following information:

    • Agency/Department name, address, organization/business unit code
    • Fiscal year-end date

When there are accounts outside the CTS, the Report No. 14 shall include the following:

Periodic Review of Accounts Outside the CTS
