Basic Financial Statements • Statement of Activities • Program revenues reduce the cost of a program • Charges for services • Operating grants and contributions • Capital grants and contributions • Net cost is financed by general revenues
Statement of Activities • Eliminations and Reclassifications • Internal activities should be eliminated so that expenses and revenues are recorded only once • The general fund may charge other funds for services such as insurance coverage on an internal basis. When these costs are consolidated the “doubling up” should be eliminated so that the allocated expenses are reported only by the function to which they are allocated. • Internal activities should not be eliminated when classified as interfund services provided or used. Example, sale of water, electricity from utility to general government.
Statement of Activities • Intra-entity activity – Transaction between primary government and its discretely presented component units • Should not be eliminated • Amount payable / receivable should be reported as a separate line item • Internal service fund activity should be eliminated to avoid doubling up of expenses and revenue. • Any profit (loss) should be allocated pro rata to the participating funds • Residual balances related to assets and liabilities reported in governmental activities in statements of net assets.
