SBA About Us

The Centralized Accounting Division was established in September 2009 for small agencies to drive efficiencies by reducing overall state costs of back-office expenses because services are pooled using fewer employees and standardized business processes across all business units. The Centralized Accounting Division operates as an internal service fund where it charges business units for accounting, payroll, contract creation, procurement services, and other back-office supports.

SBA has four Fiscal Divisions, each led by a Division Director and staffed by a team of Fiscal Analysts. Our Fiscal Divisions are the engine of our State's financial management system. They work with portfolios of state agencies, performing all facets of financial management, including approving budget requests, managing spending plans, and reviewing federal grant applications.

In any given year, roughly 50 percent of the funds spent in Indiana comes from the federal government. The Division of Federal Grants Policy and Management evaluates that federal funding, approves the pursuit of that funding, and trains agencies to effectively manage those funds. The Division supports SBA Fiscal Analysts’ review of federal grants and works with SBA’s Executive Team to integrate federal grants into Indiana’s financial management systems.

Grants management information and resources can be found on the Grants Management section of the website.
