The basic financial statements present the general fund and special revenue fund on a GAAP basis.
Budgetary comparison statements or schedules (RSI) are presented for the general fund and special revenue
fund to demonstrate finance-related legal compliance in which certain revenue is permitted by law or grant
agreement to be recognized in the audit year, whereas for GAAP reporting, revenue is not recognized until
the subsequent year or when expenditures have been made. The general fund is presented in the accompanying schedules on the modified accrual basis with the
exception of the revenue recognition of the one or more deferred June state aid payments in the current
budget year, which is mandated pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:22-44.2. For GAAP purposes payments are not
recognized until the subsequent budget year due to the state deferral and recording of the one or more June
state aid payments in the subsequent year. The special revenue fund is presented in the accompanying
schedules on the grant accounting budgetary basis, which recognizes encumbrances as expenditures and
also recognizes the related revenues, whereas the GAAP basis does not. The special revenue fund also
recognizes the one or more state aid June payments in the current budget year, consistent with N.J.S.A.
18A:22-4.2.
The net adjustment to reconcile from the budgetary basis to the GAAP basis is ($60,540) for the general
fund and ($2,257,703) for the special revenue fund. See Exhibit C-3 Note A of the basic financial
statements, for a reconciliation of the budgetary basis to the modified accrual basis of accounting for the
