TO ACCOMPANY
ESSENTIALS OF ACCOUNTING FOR GOVERNMENTAL
AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS:
TWELFTH EDITION
Chapters 2 through 8 describe accounting and financial reporting by state and local
governments. A continuous problem is presented to provide an overview of the reporting
process, including preparation of fund basis and government-wide statements. The problem
assumes the government is using fund accounting for its internal record-keeping and then at
year-end makes necessary adjustments to prepare the government-wide statements. The
problem that follows is presented in the same order as the textbook (beginning with Chapters
3, and 4).
Each chapter requires the preparation of journal entries to record the events and transactions
of governmental, proprietary, or fiduciary funds. For the General Fund, use control accounts
for the budgetary accounts, revenues, expenditures and encumbrances. For all other funds,
use separate accounts for each type of revenue and expenditure/expense. At appropriate
stages, preparation of the fund and government-wide statements are required. The following
funds are included in this series of problems:
Governmental Funds
¾ General
¾ Special revenue—Street and Highway Fund
¾ Capital projects—City Hall Annex Construction Fund
¾ Debt service—City Jail Annex Debt Service Fund
¾ Debt service—City Hall Debt Service Fund
Proprietary Funds
¾ Internal service—Stores and Services Fund
¾ Enterprise—Water and Sewer Fund
Fiduciary Funds
¾ Private-purpose—Student Scholarship Fund
¾ Pension trust—Fire and Police Retirement Fund
