    Continous Problem - City of Everlasting Sunshine

    Chapters 2 through 8 describe accounting and financial reporting by state and local governments. A continuous problem is presented to provide an overview of the reporting process, including preparation of fund basis and government-wide statements. The problem assumes the government is using fund accounting for its internal record-keeping and then at year-end makes necessary adjustments to prepare the government-wide statements. The problem that follows is presented in the same order as the textbook (beginning with Chapters 3, and 4). Each chapter requires the preparation of journal entries to record the events and transactions of governmental, proprietary, or fiduciary funds. For the General Fund, use control accounts for the budgetary accounts, revenues, expenditures and encumbrances. For all other funds, use separate accounts for each type of revenue and expenditure/expense. At appropriate stages, preparation of the fund and government-wide statements are required. The following funds are included in this series of problems: Governmental Funds General Special revenue—Street and Highway Fund Capital projects—City Hall Annex Construction Fund Debt service—City Hall Annex Debt Service Fund Debt service—City Hall Debt Service Fund Proprietary Funds Internal service—Stores and Services Fund Enterprise—Water and Sewer Fund Fiduciary Funds Private-purpose—Student Scholarship Fund Pension trust—Fire and Police Retirement Fund…

    Since 1973, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has been the designated organization in the private sector for establishing standards of financial accounting. Those standards govern the preparation of financial statements. They are officially recognized as authoritative by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (Financial Reporting Release No. 1, Section 101, and reaffirmed in its April 2003 Policy Statement) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (Rule 203, Rules of Professional Conduct, as amended May 1973 and May 1979). Such standards are important to the efficient functioning of the economy because investors, creditors, auditors, and others rely on credible, transparent, and comparable financial information.…

    Gasb and Fasb Analysis Paper

    The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the board that "sets the accounting and financial reporting standards for state and local governments, whereas the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the standard-setter for all other entities except the federal government." (Granof, 2003, Ch 1 pp6) The GASB promotes accountability and allows the public to know the facts in regards to the uses of the resources. Inter-period equity shows whether the current-year 's revenues will pay for the current-year 's expenditures. Budgetary and fiscal compliance make sure that the funds and/or resources were used within the guidelines of the entity 's budget. Service efforts, costs, and accomplishments are shown in the financial reporting of the entities to help demonstrate the accountability with the governmental entity. (Granof, 2003, Ch 1, pp 13) The FASB sets the guidelines for non-governmental entities to provide the information on the profitability of the entity.…

    The Need for Both Gasb and Fasb for America’s Colleges and Universities

    The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) was established in 1973 and has been granted the power to institute rules of financial accounting and reporting for businesses and not-for-profit organizations. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), established 11 years later in 1984, took on a very similar role. This board has the power to institute rules of financial accounting and reporting for all governmental entities except for those on the federal level. With so many different colleges and universities in America today, it is important to know that higher educational state institutions follow GASB and independent institutions such as University of Phoenix follow FASB. Even though both GASB and FASB have its own mission when instituting new standards, the coexistence of these two standards boards result in recognition discrepancy, measurement, and disclosure that creates a difficult time for its users to compare and contrast the organization’s financial position.…
