Proprietary Funds __ may be prepared for proprietary funds to facilitate management of fund activities, but GASB standards do not require budget-actual reporting.

Budgets

Proprietary Funds __ used in fund operations and long-term debt serviced from fund revenues are recorded in the accounts of each proprietary fund. Depreciation on capital assets is recognized as an expense, and accruals and deferrals common to business accounting are recorded in proprietary funds.

Capital assets

Proprietary Funds Funds used to report activities in which users are charged a fee for goods or services. They are appropriate when individuals or businesses external to the government are the predominant users.

Enterprise Fund

Proprietary Funds Funds used to report activities that provide goods and services to other funds, departments, or agencies on a cost-reimbursement basis. They are used when the government is the predominant user of the goods or services.

Internal Service Fund

Proprietary Funds __ is computed as capital assets less accumulated depreciation minus the balance of any debt associated with the acquisition of capital assets. Unrestricted Net Position is the residual account for any net resources that are not classified in either of the other two categories.

Net Investment in Capital Assets

Proprietary Funds The category __ is calculated using end of period balances in capital assets, accumulated depreciation, and debt. Borrowings for operations (if any) would not be subtracted here. In most cases, internal service funds will not have __. Unrestricted Net Position is the residual balance calculated after the other two categories.

Net Investment in Capital Assets, Restricted Net Position

Proprietary Funds Recall that the net position of governmental funds is termed Fund Balance and is classified within five categories. In contrast, the excess of assets over liabilities of proprietary funds is termed Net Position and classified within three categories: 1. __ 2. __ 3. __

Net Investment in Capital Assets, Restricted Net Position, Unrestricted Net Position

Proprietary Funds Three financial statements are required for proprietary funds: a Statement of __ (or Balance Sheet); a Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position; and a Statement of Cash Flows. As is true for governmental funds, enterprise funds are reported by major fund, with __ funds presented in a separate column. However, __ funds are combined and reported in a single column.

Net Position, nonmajor, internal service

Proprietary Funds Comparison between governments is difficult when:

Only one government uses internal service funds.

Proprietary Funds __ use the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Because revenues and expenses (not expenditures) are recognized on the accrual basis, financial statements of proprietary funds are similar in many respects to those of business organizations.

Proprietary funds

Proprietary Funds __ is defined as net resources whose use is restricted by external parties (creditors, grantors, or other governments) or by internally imposed laws.

Restricted Net Position

Proprietary Funds True or false: GASB standards do not require budget-actual reporting for proprietary funds.

capital assets, restricted, unrestricted

enterprise

Proprietary Funds All of the funds discussed in previous chapters (General, special revenue, capital projects, debt service, and permanent) are classified as governmental funds. They exist to raise revenue and other resources to provide services or acquire facilities to aid in the provision of public services. Funds discussed in previous chapters record only current financial resources and liabilities that will be settled with current financial resources. Capital assets and long-term debt are not reported in __, but are presented in government-wide statements. Governmental funds recognize encumbrances and expenditures, not expenses.

governmental funds

Proprietary Funds Services provided to other govenment departments are accounted for in __ __ funds.

internal service

Proprietary Funds Establishment and Operation of Internal Service Funds Departments and units expected to purchase goods and services from internal service funds should include in their budgets the anticipated outlays for goods and services. During the year, as supplies are issued or services are rendered, the __ records operating revenues (Charges for Services is an account title commonly used instead of Sales). Since the customer is another department of the government, a journal entry to record the purchase is recorded at the same time the internal service fund records revenue. If the other fund is a governmental fund, the purchase is recorded as an expenditure.

internal service fund

Proprietary Funds Two types of funds are classified as proprietary funds: __and __. Internal service funds provide services to other government departments and charge those departments for the services received. Enterprise funds provide services to the public.

internal service funds, enterprise funds

Proprietary Funds Establishment and Operation of Internal Service Funds Because internal service funds are established to improve the __, they should be operated and accounted for on a businesslike basis. For example, assume that administrators request the establishment of a fund for the purchasing, warehousing, and issuing of supplies used by a number of funds and departments. A budget should be prepared for the internal service fund (but not recorded in the accounts) to demonstrate that fund management has realistic plans to generate sufficient revenues to cover the cost of goods issued and such other expenses, including depreciation, that the governing body intends fund operations to recover.

management of resources

Proprietary Funds As we discussed in Chapter 1, if the accounting treatment for a given transaction is not specified by a GASB pronouncement, a government may use __sources for guidance, including FASB standards dealing with similar events.

nonauthoritative

Proprietary Funds Establishment and Operation of Internal Service Funds Periodically and at year-end, an __ should be prepared for each internal service fund to compare revenues and related expenses; these operating statements, called Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Fund Net Position, are similar to income statements prepared for investor-owned businesses.

operating statement

Proprietary Funds INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS As governments become more complex, efficiency can be improved if services used by several departments or funds or even by several governmental units are combined in a single department. Purchasing, printing services, garages, janitorial services, and risk management activities are common examples. Activities that produce goods or services to be provided to __ on a cost-reimbursement basis are accounted for by __. Internal service funds recognize revenues and expenses on the accrual basis. They report capital assets used in their operations and long-term debt to be serviced from revenues generated from their operations, as well as for all current assets and current liabilities.

other departments, internal service funds

Funds that are used to account for activities similar to those engaged in by commercial businesses are called __ funds.

proprietary

Proprietary Funds A second fund classification, __, describes funds that are used to account for activities similar to those often engaged in by commercial businesses. That is, users of goods or services are charged amounts at least sufficient to cover the costs of providing the goods or services. Thus, in the pure case, proprietary funds are self-supporting.

proprietary funds

Proprietary Funds Because __ use the accrual basis of accounting, governments historically used FASB standards to provide guidance in accrual-based financial statements for items not specifically covered by GASB statements. Recently the GASB clarified this practice by incorporating specific FASB standards into the GASB codification. Among the more common topics incorporated from FASB standards are the following: 1. Error corrections and changes in accounting principles and estimates 2. Contingencies 3. Extraordinary items 4. Capital and operating leases 5. Current asset and liability classification 6. Capitalization of interest costs 7. The equity method for investments in common stock

proprietary funds

Proprietary Funds Establishment and Operation of Internal Service Funds The establishment of an internal service fund is normally subject to legislative approval. The original allocation of resources to the fund may be derived from a transfer of assets of another fund, such as the General Fund or an enterprise fund, intended as a __ not to be repaid or as a loan that is in the nature of a long-term __ to be repaid by the internal service fund over a period of years.

transfer, advance
