function on the taxpayers. How much each function relies on general revenues.

Required elements of MD&A (continued)

◦ Description of significant capital asset and long-term debt activity during the reporting year

◦ If government uses modified approach: Significant changes in the assessed condition How current condition compares to target level set by the

government Significant differences between the estimated annual

amount to maintain/preserve eligible infrastructure assets compared with the actual amounts spent during the reporting period

◦ Description of currently know facts, decisions, or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on financial position or results of operations

Page 32: Prepared for: Government Finance Officers Association of Arizona May 17, 2012 By: Dawn Jenkins & Dan Leahy

Page 33: Prepared for: Government Finance Officers Association of Arizona May 17, 2012 By: Dawn Jenkins & Dan Leahy

Required for general fund and any major special revenue funds with an appropriated budget

Option to include within the basic financial statements, or as RSI following the footnotes◦ GFOA recommended practice to include in BFS◦ Only the required statements may be included in

BFS. Any others presented must be outside BFS or RSI

Must include: (continued)◦ Column for variance between final budget and

actual results [over/(under)] May not be labeled favorable/unfavorable

or◦ Participates in an agent multiple-employer

defined benefit plan (P.S.P.R.S.) Required data

◦ Schedule of funding progress◦ Schedule of employer contributions

Should include sources, assumptions, methodologies, and narrative explanations (as necessary) on stat tables

Page 51: Prepared for: Government Finance Officers Association of Arizona May 17, 2012 By: Dawn Jenkins & Dan Leahy

Concept is to ensure that financial reporting is inclusive of other legal entities for which the primary government is financially accountable

Component units are by definition separate legal entities, but GAAP stresses substance over form◦ Fact that the separate entity exists solely to

benefit the primary government (substance) is more important than legal form for financial reporting

Page 52: Prepared for: Government Finance Officers Association of Arizona May 17, 2012 By: Dawn Jenkins & Dan Leahy

Reporting Entity consists of ◦ The primary government◦ Organizations for which the primary

government is financially responsible◦ Other organizations for which the nature and

significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete

Page 53: Prepared for: Government Finance Officers Association of Arizona May 17, 2012 By: Dawn Jenkins & Dan Leahy

Two methods of including component units in financial reporting ◦ Discrete presentation

Default methodology Show as separate column(s) on face of

government-wide financial statements◦ Blending

Only allowed if meet specific requirements Treat as fund(s) of the primary government

Page 54: Prepared for: Government Finance Officers Association of Arizona May 17, 2012 By: Dawn Jenkins & Dan Leahy

For guidance on component units and discrete vs. blending presentation, see GASB14 and GASB61
