ACCOUNT GROUP
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - A financial reporting device used to account for general obhgat10n debt outstanding
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and financial reporting treatment apphed to a fund 1s determined by its measurement focus All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus With this measurement focus, only current assets and current hab1hhes generally are included on the balance sheet Operating statements of these funds present increases (1 e , revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (1 e, expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets Their reported fund balance 1s considered a measure of available spendable resources
Liab1ht1es which are expected to be financed from available spendable resources are reported as hab1ht1es in the governmental funds Other hab1ht1es, which are not expected to be financed from available spendable resources, arc reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group
Agency funds are purely custodial in nature and do not involve measurement ofresults ofoperat10ns
Governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting under which
Revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (1 e, when they become both measurable and available) "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collect1ble within the current penod or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay hab1ht1es of the current penod The School D1stnct considers receivables collected within sixty days after yearend to be available Property taxes, sales taxes and interest arc considered to be susceptible to accrual Nonexchange transactions, in which the School D1stnct gives (or receives) value without
