The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. The Governmental Fund types are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. All Federal grant funds were accounted for in a Special Revenue Fund, which is a Governmental Fund type. With this measurement focus, only current assets and liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. The modified-accrual basis of accounting is used for governmental funds. This basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the accounting period in which they become both measurable and available and expenditures in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, except that principal and interest on general long-term debt are recognized when due. Federal grant funds are earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grant. Accordingly, when such funds are received, they are recorded as deferred revenues until earned.
