FCMAT ASB Manual

The Financial Crisis Management Assessment Team is an organization created out of the passage of the AB1200 to help California’s local educational agencies fulfill their financial and management responsibilities by providing fiscal advice, management assistance, training and other related school business services. This is the organization that outlines California ASB rules and regulations.

The Associated Student Body Accounting Manual, Desk Reference and Fraud Prevention Guide is designed for school principals, ASB activity directors, fiscal services managers, bookkeepers, secretaries, students and others who are responsible for student body activities, especially fundraising. The manual is intended to answer questions about accounting, purchasing, student stores, vending machines, clubs and overall roles and responsibilities.

Please note: the District has adopted by board policy the FCMAT ASB manual. Therefore, all policies in the ASB manual should be considered district policy. This manual was most recently updated by FCMAT in 2024. As a result, there are many changed and updates in ASB for the 25-26 fiscal year as the Business Office rolls out these updates.
