Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds, Debt Service Funds, Permanent Funds, Proprietary Funds, and Fiduciary Funds
Chapter 16
GovernmentalAccounting:
C16 2
Special Revenue Fund
• Same accounting as the General Fund
• May have expenditure-driven grants
• If “on behalf” payments are administered by the government, activities are accounted for here
• Accounts for expendable trust fund activity where both principal and earnings are used to support government activities or programs
C16 3
Permanent Fund
• Used to account for nonexpendable trusts where the earnings, but not the principal, are used to support government activities and programs
C16 4
Capital Projects Fund (CPF)
• The acquisition of major general fixed assets through– purchase– construction– capital lease
• Same basic accounting and reporting model as General Fund or Special Revenue Funds
5C16
CPF:Funding Sources• Interfund operating transfers (credit OFS)
• Long-term borrowing (credit OFS)– general obligation term or serial bonds
• Intergovernmental grants (credit revenue)
• Special assessments (credit revenue)– levied against property owners or other
beneficiaries
C16 6
CPF:Activities• Record budget on an annual basis
• Interim financing (bond anticipation notes)
• Record costs charged to projects
• Interest on temporary investments is revenue
• Intergovernmental grants are revenues
• Disposition of bond premiums, discounts, accrued interest, and issuance costs
C16 7
CPF:Year EndProject complete• close revenues and
expenditures to F.B. and transfer any residual fund equity to source(s)
Project incomplete• close revenues & OFS,
expenditures & OFU to the F.B.
• close open encumbrances against F. B. -- leave F.B.- Reserve for Encumbrance
• reestablish at beginning of next year:
Encumbrance xxF.B. xx
C16 8
CPF Acquisition:Capital Lease• Use FASB 13 criteria to assess lease contract
• Entries:Expenditure - Fixed Asset xx
Other financing sources xx(lease liability recorded in GLTDAG)
Expenditure - lease principal xxExpenditure - lease interest xx
Cash xx
(fixed asset recorded in GFAAG)
C16 9
Issue bond:Cash 1,509,000
OFS - Bond Proceeds 1,509,000
Transfer premium to Debt Service Fund:Other Financing Uses 9,000
Cash (or Due to Debt Service Fund) 9,000
CPF Resources:Bond Issued at Premium
C16 10
Issue bond:Cash 1,491,000
OFS - Bond Proceeds1,491,000
CPF Resources:Bond Issued at Discount
Additional financing may have to come from a transfer from the general fund or project may have to be scaled back.
C16 11
CPF Resources:Bond Anticipation Notes (BANS)• Issued as short-term “interim” financing
• In essence, a long-term debt– accounted for in GLTDAG if
• maturity > 1 year or
• maturity 1 year and
– all steps have been taken to refinance on long-term basis
– intent is supported by ability to consummate refinancing
• All other BANS are current (fund liabilities)
C16 12
CPF Resources:Special Assessments• Compulsory levy made against certain
property to defray part or all of the cost of an improvement or service
• Assume general benefit and specific benefit to property owners assessed
C16 13
CPF Resources:Special Assessments, continued• Proceeds from special assessment-related debt
– is government obligated in some manner?• yes: credit OFS-Bond Proceeds• no: credit Contributions from Property Owners
• Debt not issued– credit OFS-Transfer from Other Funds
C16 14
Debt Service Fund (DSF)
• Used to account for the financial resources accumulated to cover the payment of principle and interest on general government obligations
C16 15
DSF:Types of Debt Serviced• Bond issues are most common
– usually serial– term bonds are rare
• Capital lease obligations
• Notes and warrants payable
• Other
C16 16
DSF:Use required only if either:• Legally mandated, or
• Accumulating resources for future years’ debt service payments (to satisfy term bond indenture requirements)
C16 17
DSF:Sources of Financing• Property taxes usually transferred in from another
fund
• Sales tax
• Special assessments• Income from investments (net of any
arbitrage)
• Refunding or defeasance
C16 18
DSF:Special Assessment
Special assessments levied to provide for debt service on indebtedness incurred for general government special assessment projects.
• Noncurrent special assessments receivable included in fund assets
– is offset by deferred revenue
– does not result in revenue and does not affect fund balance
C16 19
DSF:Expenditure Recognition• Modified accrual
– report principal and interest expenditures when legally payable (i.e., do not accrue unmatured principal or interest)
• Accrual permitted, but not required, if:– resources for debt service accumulated in fund by
year end and– payment due early next year– if accrual option is used, must accrue entire debt
service payment due early next year
C16 20
DSF:Reserves• Excess of assets over liabilities
– FB-Reserved for Debt Service– amount usually equal to highest year’s principal and
interest payments– “Amount Available” in GLTDAG at year end should
equal amount in debt service fund balance designated for future principal payments
– If not, then adjustment entry is made:
Amount Available xxAmount to be Provided xx
C16 21
DSF:Refunding & Defeasance of Debt
• Reasons for refunding or defeasance:– lower effective interest rates– extend maturity dates– revise payment schedules– remove or modify restrictions
C16 22
• Issuance of new debt to finance payment of interest and principal of existing debt– current refunding - use refunding proceeds to
retire debt immediately– advance refunding - place proceeds in escrow
and use to pay interest and principal in future (in-substance defeasance)
DSF:Refunding, defined
C16 23
DFS:Reporting Refunding & Defeasances
• DSF entry:Cash xx
OFS-Proceeds of Refunding Bondsxx
• Refunding issue is reported in GLTDAG
• Defeased/retired debt is removed from GLTDAG
C16 24
In Substance Defeasance
• if achieved - remove from GLTDAG --- if new debt used record Amt to be Prov & New GLTDG (as if refunded or defeased)
• if attempted, but not achieved - do not remove old debt --- assets that are placed in trust are recorded as investments in Debt Service Fund -- new debt recorded in GLTDAG
C16 25
Proprietary Funds
• Pertaining to a proprietor
• Users of goods or services will be charged on the basis of consumption
• Types– enterprise: goods or services provided to the
general public– internal service: goods or services provided
inter- or intra- governmental unit
C16 26
Proprietary Funds:Interfund / Intrafund Transactions• Operating
– intrafund: record other financing sources or uses– interfund: record revenue or expenditure [or
expense]
• Nonoperating:– government funds: record as other financing
sources/uses– proprietary funds: interfund transfers
• Reimbursements (adjust expenditures)
C16 27
Proprietary Funds:Common Features
• Accounting equation - full accrual
• Fixed assets and long-term debt maintained in the fund
• Applicability of pertinent business (i.e., FASB) pronouncements
• Reporting interfund transactions
• Required financial statements
C16 28
Proprietary Funds:Accounting Principles• Similar to for-profit enterprises• Apply GAAP except where it has been
specifically overridden by a GASB pronouncement
• GASB #20 (Sept ‘93):– must apply all pertinent GAAP (ARBs, APBs,
SFASs, etc.) through SFAS 102 unless conflict– may apply GAAP from SFAS 103 to present
• apply ALL, unless conflict or• apply NONE, unless adopted by GASB
C16 29
Proprietary Funds:Accounting Principles, continued
• GASB #34 (June ‘99):– may apply those FASB standards and
interpretations limited to NFP organizations
C16 30
Proprietary Funds:Financial Statements• Balance Sheet
• Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets
• Statement of Cash Flows
• Plus:– Combining statements– Segment information
C16 31
Proprietary Funds:Statement of Cash Flows• Must use the direct method
• 4 categories of cash flows
• 1) Cash flows from operating activities– cash received from sales of goods/services– cash paid to suppliers, employees, and
providers of services– excludes most items not related to operating
income
C16 32
• 2) Cash flows from noncapital financing activities– borrowings for noncapital construction,
acquisition, and/or improvement purposes– repayments and interest on above borrowings– certain intergovernmental receipts/payments– interfund transfers from other funds except
those made to finance capital activities– all interfund transfers to other funds
Proprietary Funds:Statement of Cash Flows, continued
C16 33
• 3) Cash flows from capital and related financing activities– acquisition and disposal of capital assets– proceeds of fixed asset disposals– borrowing for capital assets acquisition
/construction/ improvements
Proprietary Funds:Statement of Cash Flows, continued
C16 34
• 3) Cash flows from capital and related financing activities, continued– repayments and interest on those borrowings– intergovernmental receipts restricted solely for
capital assets acquisition /construction/ improvements
– interfund transfers from other funds made clearly and specifically to finance capital assets acquisition/construction/improvement
Proprietary Funds:Statement of Cash Flows, continued
C16 35
• 4) Investing activities– making/collecting loans– acquiring/disposing of investments– collection of related interest and dividends
Proprietary Funds:Statement of Cash Flows, continued
Reconciliation of net operating income to net cash flow from operating activities must be provided in a separate schedule
C16 36
Enterprise Funds
• Use mandatory when– to account for operations financed/operated like
a business• provide goods/services
• to the public
• on continuing basis
• for fee
• intended to recover (most of) the full costs of providing goods/services
C16 37
Enterprise Funds, continued
• Use optional when– the entity engages in activities for which
governing body deems net income type information appropriate
C16 38
• Common examples– public utilities– public transportation systems– recreational facilities– parking facilities– lotteries– airports– hospital/healthcare facilities– landfills
Enterprise Funds, continued
C16 39
• Capital contributions• Operating transfers• Loans• Others
– grants– tap fees– impact fees– internal and external subsidies– debt forgiveness from general government
Enterprise Funds:Non-operating Revenues
C16 40
Enterprise Funds:Capital Contributions• Recorded as interfund transfer
• Included in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets as Nonoperating Revenue
• No longer a separate Contributed Capital on Balance Sheet
• No longer “residual equity transfers”
C16 41
Enterprise Funds:Restricted Assets• A way to have a “fund within a fund”
– distinctively titled restricted asset, liability and equity reserve accounts
– customer deposits– construction financed by bond issue– debt service– contingencies
C16 42
Enterprise Funds:Landfills• Significant amounts involved• Recognize the liability for closure and post-
closure care over remaining life of landfill• Current period expense:
estimated total cost (capacity used so far total capacity)= to-date cost based on used capacity– costs already recognized= current period expense
• Liability: amount of expense not funded
C16 43
Internal Service Fund
• Services to other departments
• Cost-reimbursement basis
• Intermediary fiscal and accounting entity– economy/efficiency– equitable cost sharing
C16 44
Internal Service Fund:Pricing Policies• Charges should be based on cost
• Charges cannot be excessive
• Pricing often includes total costs and total consumption of goods or services
C16 45
Self-Insurance
• If risk financing is not centralized– do not use Internal Service Fund (ISF)– record expenditures/expenses/losses in affected funds– record liability in appropriate fund and/or GLTDAG
• If risk financing is centralized– use general fund or internal service fund– if general fund, reimburse for actual claims paid– additional charges - operating transfers
C16 46
Self-Insurance ISFs
• Recognize claims and judgments in ISF– when probable and reasonably estimable– charges to user departments must be reasonable and
equitable• Revenues and expenses must be equal over a
reasonable time period– provision for future catastrophic losses allowed in
charges to user departments– reflected as Reserve or Designation of Retained
Earnings & in notes• Over (& under) payments are operating transfers
Trust and Agency Funds
• Used to account for assets received and held by government acting as trustee or custodian for individuals, organizations, businesses, or other governments
• Difference - duration of the fiduciary responsibility–Agency Fund – short-term fiduciary responsibility–Trust Funds – long-term fiduciary responsibility
C16 48
Types of Trust Funds
• Private Purpose – expendable– nonexpendable
• Investment Trust
• Pension Trust
C16 49
Trust Funds:Private Purpose Expendable
• Can spend both principal (corpus) and earnings
• Financial statements– Statement of Net Assets– Statement of Changes in Net Assets
C16 50
Trust Funds:Private Purpose Nonexpendable• Can only spend earnings
• Principal (corpus) stays intact
• Financial statements– Statement of Net Assets– Statement of Changes in Net Assets
C16 51
Investment Trust Funds
• Used to account for pooled investment funds and other investment activity
• Financial statements– Statement of Net Assets– Statement of Changes in Net Assets
C16 52
Pension Accounting
• GASB 25
– Annual pension cost - actuarial method– Acceptable annual required contribution (ARC)– Determination of normal cost– Unfunded actuarial accrued liability and
amortization
C16 53
• Statement of Net Plan Assets– Investments at FMV– Fixed income securities not amortized– Fixed assets reported at depreciated cost– No liability reported for actuarial present value of future
benefits– Actuarial information (must comply with established
parameters & assumptions) reported as Required Supplementary Information (RSI)
• Statement of Changes in Net Plan Assets– Reports on additions and deductions– Identifies changes in net plan assets
Pension Accounting, continued
C16 54
Agency Funds
• Used for– tax collections for other governments– payroll deductions– pass-through grants– grants, entitlements, shared revenue
• GASB required agency funds– if government has no program/discretion– no obligation special assessment debt service
C16 55
Agency Funds
• Accounting Equation
assets = liabilities
• Financial Statement
Statement of Net Assets
