Accounting Policies: NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Council accounts for all federal and state awards under programs of the federal and state government in
the Special Revenue Funds. These programs are accounted for using a current financial resources
measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current 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 these funds. This basis of accounting recognizes revenues
in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, i.e. both measurable and available, and
expenditures in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred, if measurable, except for certain
compensated absences and claims and judgments, which are recognized when the obligations are expected to
be liquidated with expendable available financial resources.
Federal and state grant funds for governmental funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures
made under the provisions of the grant. When such funds are advanced to the Council, they are recorded as
unearned revenues until earned. Otherwise, federal and state grant funds are received on a reimbursement
basis from the respective federal or state program agencies.
