Statement vouchers are used in the revenue share process to share gains, losses, and fees across funds with a balance in an account or pool parent account. Use statement vouchers to record investment returns, bank fees, and interest. They can also be used to record the accrual and reversal of interest or dividends, where applicable. Unlike standard vouchers, statement vouchers do not create a check; the entry adds or removes money directly to that asset account. Use a standard voucher if you plan to pay your vendors electronically or with a check.
Who: Finance and accounting teams recording investment activity, bank fees, and interest in CommunitySuite.

CommunitySuite retains a list of the most recent statement vouchers in the Recent Statement Vouchers table. If a statement is similar to one created in the past, click Copy, and the statement voucher will populate with the associated investment holding fund, the revenue and expense accounts, the description, and the previous amount. Edit the details to reflect the current statement.
Accrual Vouchers
Use statement vouchers to record the accrual and reversal of interest or dividends. To create an accrual voucher in CommunitySuite:
- Create a Statement Voucher.
- The fund on the statement voucher must be the Z_Revenue Share fund.
- Do not post the voucher.
- Click Edit in the left-side menu.

- The accrual account must be a unique receivable account other than the ones listed in account defaults.
- The reversal date should be the first of the following month.
- Click Post in the left-side menu.

Once a statement is received, create the statement voucher to allocate the actual earnings. The statement voucher with the accrual account listed does not put money on the books as it is reversed on the selected reverse date.
Edit Statement Vouchers
Editing or unposting a statement voucher will not undo any revenue share that has already happened or been associated with the statement voucher. If you edit a statement voucher, it is recommended that you also unpost and delete the revenue share, then edit the statement voucher and run revenue share again.
