Amounts reported in the accompanying schedules agree with amounts reported in the District’s basic financial statements. 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 the 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 fiscal 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 of accounting with the exception of the revenue recognition of the last two state aid payments in the current year, which is mandated pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:22-44.2. For GAAP purposes, those payments are not recognized until the subsequent year due to the state deferral and recording of the last 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 state aid payments in the current budget year, consistent with N.J.S.A. 18A:22-44.2.

Federal $ 69,384,937 $ 45,760,274 $ 23,624,663
