  The difference of modified accrual accounting with commercial GAAP
  三层皮对一层皮。(“Budgetary accounting+Activity accounting+Encumbrance accounting=government fund accounting” Vs.Commercial accounting)
  Governmental funds must comply with both legal statutes and GAAP.
  Because governmental funds have NO profit motive,so there are no income determination.
  Each fund is a separate entity;a self-balancing set of accounts.

  2nd tier of Revenue include:
  Taxes-Income and sales
  Taxes–Property and real estate
  Fines and penalties
  2nd tier of Other Financing sources include:
  Debt proceeds(bonds and notes)
  Interfund transfers
  三层皮概揽
  Budget 预算+Activity 活动+Encumbrance占位
  预算定总盘,借贷正相反。
  订单要占位,防止没钱付。
  现金支出时,正常记分录。
  若是曾占位,要把占位清。
  年底预活转,占位可跨年。
  Budgetary accounting is used to control expenditures and to account for the levy of taxes sufficient to cover estimated expenditures.The major features of budgetary accounting are the use of budgetary accounts and the use of encumbrances.
  Budgetary accounting is used to control expenditures and to account for the levy of taxes sufficient to cover estimated expenditures.The major features of budgetary accounting are the use of budgetary accounts and the use of encumbrances.
  Encumbrances. Open purchases orders represent an encumbrance or reduction of the appropriations of a government.In order for governmental managers to effectively monitor the degree to which they have used their budgetary appropriations,governmental accounting systems reflect not only the expenditures but also the obligations to spend (purchase orders)。This is done to prevent overspending of appropriations.
  Budgetary accounts are “estimated accounts,”which are the opposite (in terms of “natural” debit and credit balances)from “real,”“proprietary,”or “actual” accounts.
  Budgetary accounts are posted only twice during the year(unless a supplemental appropriation is made)
  Estimated revenues–appropriations=Budgetary control(an Equity account)
  At the beginning of the year
  Dr.Estimated revenue control
  Dr.Estimated other financing sources
  Dr./Cr.Budgetary control
  Cr.Appropriations control
  Cr.Estimated other financing uses
  At the end of the year,the budget is reversed and closed.The entry‘s debit and credit are reversed.The accounts and amount are exactly SAME.
  Governmental fund revenues are recorded when measurable and available.
  Available means the collection period does NOT exceed 60 days after fiscal year-end.
  Governmental fund revenues often arise from non-exchange transactions.
  Non-exchange transaction is a transaction in which a government gives or receives value without directly giving or receiving equal value in return.
  There are four classifications of non-exchange revenues that serve as the basis for most government fund resources.特点:No underlying exchange transaction for those revenue.
  Derived Non-exchange Tax Revenue.所得税与流转税。Accrued and recognized as revenue if
  a)measurable,b)due at year end,c)actually received within 60 days of year end.
  Imposed Non-exchange Revenue. 财产税与罚款。Accrued and recognized if a)billed.
  Government Mandated Non-exchange Transactions.上级政府专项拔款。类似中央财政向宁夏下拔引黄干渠维护专项资金。条件是干渠日常维护达到中央设定标准。Accrued and recognized as revenue if a)measurable,b) available,c) Eligibility requirements are met.
  Voluntary Non-exchange Transactions.政府间自愿划拔。北京市向西藏划拔资金,支援西藏中学建设。Accrued and recognized as revenue if a)restriction are met
  Governmental funds revenue recognition summary:
  Billed/Recorded:Imposed non-exchange revenues(Real estate taxes,fines and penalties)
  Received:Derived tax revenue(income taxes,sales taxes)
  Earned:Cash have been collected in advance.Or collection is sured.
  Accrual of real property tax
  Dr.Real property taxes receivable–current 1800K
  Cr.Revenues–property taxes 1620K
  Cr.Allowance for uncollectible taxes receivable–current 180K
  Collection of real property tax
  Dr.Cash 1458K
  Cr.Real property taxes receivable–current 1458K
  Reclassify receivables to delinquent:
  Dr.Property taxes receivable–delinquent 342K
  Cr.Property taxes receivable–current 342K
  Adjust revenue of real property tax
  Dr.Revenues–property taxes 162K
  Dr.Allowance for uncollectible taxes–current 180K
  Cr.Property taxes receivable–delinquent 342K
  Expenditures=Operating expenditures+Capital purchase+Debt services payments
  In governmental fund there is NO matching principle,so all items are expenditures:fixed assets,bond issue costs,and debt payments.
  Operating expenditures entry
  Dr.Expenditures–wages
  Cr.Cash
  Purchase of a capital item entry
  Dr.Expenditures–capital outlay
  Cr.Voucher payable or Cash
  Principal payment on debt entry
  Dr.Expenditures–Debt service
  Cr.Cash
  Expenditure is recognized when the voucher payable is recorded OR cash is paid,which is earlier.
  Alternatives for Expenditure Recognition
  For current assets only,include supplies,prepaid(insurance),inventory.
  Purchase Method Vs.Consumption Method
  Purchase method 1st expenditure current asset when purchase,2nd Set-up current asset for items not used during period(still on hand)
  Consumption method 1st set up as a current asset when purchased,2nd expenditure items as consumed(by periodic physical count)
  Purchase method–收货时一次记入P&L,年底存货挤回B/S,同时调整Nonspendable FB inventory.
  Consumption method–收货时全记B/S,年底时,将全年消耗挤入P/L
  采购法(Purchase)与消耗法(Consumption)相比,记入expenditure的金额要多,多出的金额应是年底的存货。此部分通过增加贷方的nonspendable FB inventory来抵销。
  Transfers between Funds represent the use of financial resources.
  Dr.Other financing uses–transfers out,debt service fund
  Cr.Cash(from the general fund)
  Classification of Governmental Expenditures by purpose
  1st tier by Function or program(Public safety, education,highways,etc.)

  Fixed Assets(purchased,constructed,and leased)
  In governmental funds,fixed assets do NOT generate revenue,so do NOT capitalized on the funds books.They are expenditures on the funds books.The accounts is “expenditure – capital outlay”
  Dr.Expenditure–capital outlay
  Cr.Vouchers payable(or cash)
  The government-wide F/S adopt accrual accounting.Fixed assets are capitalized from funds‘ “expenditure-capital outlay” to government-wide F/S’ PP&E.

  Encumbrances(直译“阻碍”,意译“占位”):Commit funds for purchase orders
  Open purchase orders represent an encumbrance(commitment of the available appropriations of a government.)
  Spendable fund balance=Budgetary–Activity expenditure–Encumbrance
  If governmental accounting systems do not adopt the encumbrance concept,the appropriation may be overspending.
  When order issued,set up encumbrance entry
  Dr.Encumbrances 90K(45K * 2 truck)
  Cr.Budgetary control 90K
  When 1 truck is received,and price is 44K reverse encumbrance entry by original proportion.

  国会拨款不容易,形成预算给政府。
  预算千万别花超,花超预算关衙门。
  控制支出大学问,三层会计同管理。
  预算分录借贷反,年头年尾各一笔。
  日常支出是活动,正常记入损益表。
  占位会计冲两回,收货冲完年底冲。
  预算活动加占位,就是预算剩余额。
  政府基金修正法,基金净额买新车。
  预算占位管理用,不会影响总净额。
  期初净额加活动,期末净额算出来。
  如果占位年尾冲,净额U要变CA。

USCPA备考 热门问题解答
美国注会考试考多少分及格?

uscpa一共有四门科目,每门考试的满分为99分,75分及格,但是这个75不是75%的正确率,不能被理解为百分比。

uscpa一共几门几年考完?

uscpa总共考4门,一般单科成绩的有效期为18个月,大家需要在这个有效期的时间内,通过剩余的三门科目,否则第一门通过的考试成绩就作废,需要重考。因此,uscpa考试周期最长为18个月。

NASBA和AICPA开启了连续测试期后,大家可以不受限制的全年参加uscpa考试。在uscpa的考试成绩公布后,如果大家发现自己没有通过考试,能够马上申请并参加该门科目考试,也不用再等待下一个考季才能申请重考。
