Chapter 18 - Governmental Entities: Special Funds and Government-Wide Financial Statements
CHAPTER 18
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Q18-1 A governmental entity would use a special revenue fund rather than a
general fund when the resources earmarked for the fund, such as federal or state
government grants or special tax levies, are restricted for specific purposes.
Q18-2 Operating budgets are prepared for the general fund, special revenue funds,
and debt service fund. Capital budgets are prepared for the capital projects fund.
Q18-3 Interest on long-term debt is accounted for in the debt service fund for only
the interest that is due and legally payable as an expenditure. Interest is not accrued
on the outstanding balance of the long-term debt.
Q18-4 The major differences between a special revenue fund and an enterprise
fund are
Encumbrances Yes No
Q18-5 The basis of accounting used in the proprietary funds is the accrual basis
because the focus of the governmental entity is on capital maintenance and income
determination rather than budgetary spending authority.
Q18-6 The financial statements that must be prepared for the governmental funds
are the balance sheet and the statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in
fund balances. The financial statements that must be prepared for the enterprise
funds are the statement of net assets, the statement of revenues, expenses, and
changes in fund net assets, and the statement of cash flows.

Q18-7 Proceeds from a bond issue are accounted for as an other financing source
in the fund that issued the bonds. However, some governments have a policy that the
capital projects fund may not keep any bond premium, in which case the bond
premium is typically transferred to a debt service fund. Other financing sources and
uses are reported separately below operations, but above special items, on the
governmental funds’ statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund
balance.
Q18-9 GASB 34 specifies that only governmental and enterprise funds determined
to be ―major‖ funds need to be separately disclosed in their own columns in the fund
financial statements. There are two tests to determine which individual governmental
and enterprise funds are considered major if they meet both tests. First, the general
fund is always considered a major fund. The first test is total assets, liabilities,
revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual fund are at least 10 percent or
more of the governmental or enterprise category. The second test is that total assets,
liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental or
enterprise fund are at least 5 percent of the total for all governmental and enterprise
funds combined. Any individual funds that are not considered major are aggregated
and presented in a single column. Management may, at any time, separately disclose
even those non-major funds for which they feel the additional disclosure will provide
information valuable to the readers of the financial statements.

Q18-12 Component units are separate government entities for which the primary
government is financially accountable. The financial presentation of these component
units is dependent on the separability from the primary government. If the component
unit is virtually inseparable, then the component unit’s financial information is blended
into the primary government’s financial statements. However, if the component unit is
distinguishable, and has its own taxing authority, then the component unit’s financial
information is presented in a separate column in the government-wide financial
statements.
Q18-13 Two reconciliation schedules are required by GASB 34. The first reconciles
the fund balances reported in the governmental funds to the net assets of
governmental activities reported on the government-wide financial statements. For
example, internal service funds are not a governmental fund, but the accounts for
internal service funds are blended into the governmental activities that are reported
on the government-wide financial statements. The second reconciliation schedule
reconciles the net change in fund balances reported in the governmental funds
statements to the change in net assets reported in the government-wide financial
statements. These two reconciliation schedules are required by GASB 34 to be
presented either on the face of the fund financial statements or in a separate
schedule immediately following the fund financial statements.
Q18-14 The budgetary comparison schedule reports, for the general fund and any
other governmental fund that has a legally adopted budget, the initially approved
budget, the final budget of the year, and the actual amounts, for each line item in the
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance. A variance
column may also be used to compare the actual against the final budget. This
budgetary comparison schedule is part of the required supplementary information
(RSI) required by GASB 34. GASB 41 amended GASB 34 for those governments
that do not use the general fund and special revenue fund structure specified in
GASB 34 for their budgetary purposes. GASB 41 specified that those governments
with significant perspective differences should provide a budgetary comparison
schedule in the RSI based on the structure the government used for its legally
adopted budget.

b. For the general fund, the modified accrual basis of accounting should be used
because it is a governmental fund, which is, in essence, an accounting segregation of
financial resources.
For the special revenue fund, the modified accrual basis of accounting should be
used because it is a governmental fund, which is, in essence, an accounting
segregation of financial resources.
For the enterprise fund, the accrual basis of accounting should be used because it is
a proprietary fund, with activities similar to those in the commercial, profit-seeking
sector.

a. Capital projects funds account for the acquisition or construction of major capital
facilities or improvements. A separate capital projects fund is created at the time the
project is approved and ceases at the completion of the project. Accounting for capital
projects funds is similar to accounting for the general fund. The modified accrual
basis of accounting is used; no fixed assets, depreciation, or long-term debt is
recorded in these funds.
The bond proceeds are not revenue to the capital projects fund; they are reported as
Other Financing Sources. A premium on the sale of bonds is transferred to the debt
service fund. When the expenditure is recorded, Contract Payable is credited for the
current portion due and Contract Payable-Retained Percentage is credited for the
amount held back to ensure that the contractor fully completes the project to the
satisfaction of the governmental entity.
The financial statements for capital projects funds are a balance sheet and a
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance. No budget versus
actual is required because capital projects funds use a capital budget rather than an
operating budget.
b. Debt service funds account for the accumulation and use of resources for the
payment of general long-term debt principal and interest. Accounting for the debt
service fund is similar to accounting for the general fund. The modified accrual basis
of accounting is used; no fixed assets or long-term debt is recorded; only current
maturities are recorded in the fund.
The bond premium received from the capital projects fund is recorded as an other
financing source – transfer in. The matured portion of a serial bond is recognized as
an expenditure and Matured Bonds Payable is credited. Interest legally due and
payable is recorded as an expenditure and Matured Interest Payable is credited.
The financial statements of the debt service fund are a balance sheet and a
statement of revenue, expenditures, and changes in fund balance.
c. Internal service funds account for the financing of goods or services provided by
one department to other departments on a cost-reimbursement basis. Separate
internal service funds are established for each type of service. Accounting for internal
service funds is the same as for enterprise funds or commercial entities. The accrual
basis is used; these funds record fixed assets, depreciation, and long-term debt.
The internal service fund may be started with a transfer in from the general fund. The
billings are recorded in "Due from" accounts and the revenue account, Charges for
Services. The closing entries involve a Profit and Loss Summary or Excess of Net
Revenues over Costs account.
The financial statements of an internal service fund are a statement of net assets; a
statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net assets; and, a statement
of cash flows.

Summary of major information items in the Financial Report of the United States
Government,
3. The Comptroller General of the United States heads the General Accountability
Office (GAO) who is the auditor for the U.S. government. For several years, the
Comptroller General has disclaimed an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements because of the material deficiencies in the government’s systems,
recordkeeping, documentation, and financial reporting. The material
deficiencies are listed in the auditor’s report.
4. The following five statements are presented: (1) Statements of Net Cost,
(2) Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Position, (3) Reconciliations
of Net Operating Revenue (Cost) to the Budget Surplus (unaudited), (4)
Dispositions of the Budget Surplus (unaudited), and (5) Balance Sheets.
5. The Statements of Net Cost present the costs and revenue for the major
departments, agencies, commissions, and other units of the federal
government.
8. The Dispositions of the Budget Surplus presents the changes in assets and
liabilities during the years reported.
9. The Balance Sheets present the assets, by major type, the liabilities, by major
type, and reconciles to the net position of the U.S. government.
10. Major footnotes include a stewardship report on the resources held by the U.S.
government, and a large number of notes to the financial statements that report
on specific items related to agencies, commissions, and other entities within
the federal government.

(Note to the instructor: Most local governments now produce a comprehensive annual
financial report. You might select the local city or county in which the university is located
or a large city close to the university town. Printed copies of the CAFR may be obtained
directly from that governmental entity and you could place these copies on reserve in
your university library for use by your students. Alternatively, many governments now
provide their CAFRs online. A Google web search using ―CAFR‖ and the name of your
city, county or state will show if your selection provides an online copy of its CAFR. Or,
you may do a Google search using ―CAFR‖ and then select one of the government units
that provide an online copy of its CAFR and then provide that link to your students or
insert that link into your online syllabus.)
a. Students should read the MD&A to get familiar with the governmental entity. One of
the items contained in the MD&A is information on the nature of the services performed
by the government. At the local government level, the services usually consist of police
and fire protection, street maintenance, recreation, and other services typically the
responsibility of the local government.
c. A general purpose government will have most fund types. It is beneficial for the student
to see which fund types are used and which ones are not used by a government.
d. Students should become familiar with the types of information found in the notes. One
item of information disclosed in the notes is a description of the measurement focus and
basis of accounting used by the governmental funds. The footnotes’ discussions
regarding the governmental funds and their use of the financial resources measurement
focus and modified accrual basis of accounting reinforce what the students learned from
the text.
e. Listing the financial statements that use the economic resources measurement focus
and accrual basis of accounting reinforces the coverage in the text. In their evaluation,
students should remember that the governmental fund financial statements are the only
ones prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified
accrual basis of accounting.
f. Students should be aware of the reporting of major funds in the financial statements
of governmental and proprietary funds.
g. This question emphasizes that the reporting entity for the government may be larger
than the local governmental if the local government has fiscal accountability over other
governmental entities. Because many component units are reported discretely, students
should have little problem identifying the existence of component units.

h. The purpose of this question is for students to become acquainted with the balance
sheet equation for the governmental funds: Assets = Liabilities + Fund Balance. Another
goal for this question is for students to see that fund balance is separated into two
components: (1) reserved and (2) unreserved.
i. The purpose behind questions i - l is to help students understand the format of the
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance. The first section
deals with revenues, which are reported according to source. Students will discover that
taxes are generally not the only source of revenue.
j. The objective of this question is to get students to understand how governments report
expenditures. Students may expect governments to report expenditures by object;
however, expenditures are not reported this way on the statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balance.
k. The purpose of this question is to have students examine the items reported in other
financing sources and uses. This should reinforce what they learn in the text when they
read the section dealing with interfund transfers.
l. This question covers the last items reported on the statement of revenues,
expenditures, and changes in fund balance: special items, the change in fund balance for
the year, and the ending fund balance at the end of the most recent year. Students
should not expect to see any special items since their occurrence is rare. However,
students should see the change in fund balance for the year being added to the
beginning fund balance to produce ending fund balance.

www.gasb.org/ then click on GASB FACTS in the left-hand frame, then click on Facts
About the GASB: The Mission and Structure of the Board, and finally, click on An Open
Decision-Making Process.
1. The Governmental Accounting Standards Advisory Council (GASAC). This council is
composed of about 25 persons from a diverse background in government accounting
and finance. This council provides suggestions for topics to be considered by the
GASB. In addition, the Board receives concerns about current governmental
accounting needs from other persons and groups who work in governmental
accounting or auditing.
2. Task Force. In many cases, a task force is formed shortly after the Board agrees to
place the project on its agenda. A task force is comprised of persons who know the
project’s subject matter and provides expertise and advice to the GASB as it focuses
on the critical issues and determine if a new standard is necessary.
3. Discussion Memorandum (DM). The DM is normally prepared by the staff and
defines the problem(s), the scope of the project, the accounting and reporting issues;
and presents relevant research, alternative solutions to the issues, and arguments
both for and against each alternative. Written comments are solicited and in many
cases a public hearing is scheduled to discuss the DM.
4. Invitation to Comment (ITC). An ITC is sometimes issued when the GASB seeks
more input on one or more of the issues.
5. Preliminary Views (PV). A PV puts forth the Board’s consensus at an early stage in
the process. A majority of the Board must approve the issuance of a PV. The Board
solicits comments on the PV.
6. Public Hearing. A public hearing is typically scheduled to provide the Board with an
opportunity to hear the viewpoints of the public as well as to allow the Board to raise
questions to the staff regarding written or oral comments received on the project,
including any submissions at the public hearing.
7. Analysis of Oral and Written Comments. The staff performs an analysis of the
submitted comments, looking for information and good arguments on the issues, and
presents this analysis to the members of the Board who often make their own review
of the comments.
8. Meetings of the Board. The Board may have several, or many, meetings to discuss
the issues. Board meetings on the project are open to the public, although observers
are not allowed to participate in the discussions.
9. Exposure Draft (ED). An ED presents the proposed new standards, the proposed
effective date and method of transition, background information, and explains the
basis for the Board’s conclusions regarding the issues covered by the ED.
10. Further Deliberations by the Board. The Board receives comments on the ED and
discusses the comments to determine if any modifications are needed in the
proposed standard.
11. Statements of Governmental Accounting Standards or Statements of Governmental
Accounting Concepts. A majority of the Board must vote in favor of adopting a
pronouncement. Statements of Standards establish new accounting or reporting
requirements. Statements of Concepts do not create new standards, but rather give
guidance for dealing with problems that arise on an issue.

Note to the Instructor: This case provides your students with the opportunity to be on
the leading edge of a proposed governmental accounting or reporting standard. Students
can learn about some of the specifics of an expected, new GASB Statement.
The most recent ED on the web page will be dependent on future actions of the
GASB, but the Project Pages link in the left-hand frame of the GASB’s opening web page
presents information on the status of current GASB projects. These projects are in
various stages of progress, but as of 2008, it appears that future Statements may be on
economic condition reporting, fund balance reporting, and on service efforts and
accomplishments reporting. Of course, given the dynamic nature of governmental
accounting and reporting, it is expected that new projects will be added, and some of the
current projects may be discontinued or included within a larger project the board is
studying. And, some may become new GASB Statements!

Denominators for 10 percent tests are the total of each of the four items for that fund type (for
governmental and then for enterprise)

Chapter 18 - Governmental Entities: Special Funds and Government-Wide Financial Statements
P18-22 (continued)
The 5 percent criterion test is applied only to those funds that met the 10 percent criterion
test.
(For each of the four 5 percent tests, the denominator is the combined amount of that
item
from the governmental funds plus the enterprise funds.)
To be a major fund, an individual fund must meet both the 10 percent and the 5 percent
major fund criteria in at least one financial statement item. Each major fund is presented in a
separate column on the fund-based financial statements presented as part of the
comprehensive annual financial report for the governmental entity.
(1) General fund – is always a major fund
(2) Capital Projects – Library fund – assets (both 10% and 5% criterion tests)
(3) Enterprise – Electric – assets and liabilities (both 10% and 5% criterion tests)
(4) Enterprise – Water – assets, liabilities, revenues (both 10% and 5% criterion tests)
The other governmental funds must be aggregated and reported in a single column in the
governmental funds balance sheet and statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in
fund balance.

3. F A component unit is financially accountable to the primary government.
4. F The net assets in the government-wide statement of net assets would be
categorized by: invested in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted by
outside donors in specific funds; and, unrestricted.
5. F The tests for a major governmental, or enterprise fund, for which separate
disclosure is required in the government-wide financial statements are: (a)
total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual
governmental or enterprise fund are at least 10 percent or more of the
governmental or enterprise category, and (b) total assets, liabilities,
revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental or
enterprise fund are at least 5 percent of the total for all governmental and
enterprise funds combined.

of the government-wide financial statement of net assets and statement of
activities.

10. F In the reconciliation schedule for the statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances, bond proceeds would be subtracted because
they were included as other financing sources in the governmental funds, but
are an addition to liabilities in the government-wide financial statements.
11. T
12. F Depreciation on fixed assets of a government entity may be computed by any
method deemed appropriate, such as straight-line or an accelerated method,
but depreciation of fixed assets is not equal to the expenditures for fixed
assets made in the governmental funds.
13. F Management’s Discussion and Analysis is a required supplementary
information disclosure in the new government reporting model.
14. F Fiduciary funds are not part of the government-wide statement of net assets,
but would be separately reported in the fiduciary funds section of the fund-
based financial statements.

special revenue fund at least 10% of their respective totals for all governmental
funds?
Totals for Amount Reported by
Items Tested Governmental Funds Special Revenue Fund
1. Assets $50,000,000 $4,100,000 ( 8.2%)
(10% test failed)
2. Liabilities 22,000,000 3,900,000 (17.7%)
(10% test met)
3. Revenues 70,000,000 6,700,000 ( 9.6%)
(10% test failed)
4. Expenditures 60,000,000 6,500,000 (10.8%)
(10% test met)
Test 2: 5% criterion: Two items met the 10% criterion test--liabilities and expenditures.
The 5% criterion test is met if at least one of the items that met the 10% criterion first test
is at least 5% of the respective amounts for all governmental and enterprise funds.
Conclusion:
The special revenue fund should be reported as a major fund on the financial
statements of the governmental funds for 20X2 because both its expenditures and
liabilities met the 10% and the 5% tests.
