Objectives of Financial Reporting GASB Concept Statement No. 1 Framework for accounting and reporting standards for both fund and government-wide financials Stresses the following three objectives of financial reporting Accountability Evaluating Operating Results Assessing Level of Services and Ability to Meet Obligations

Objectives of Financial Reporting 1) Accountability: Paramount objective of financial reporting by state and local governments Determine whether current-year revenues were sufficient to pay for current-year services Demonstrate whether resources were obtained and used in accordance with the entity’s legally adopted budget and/or and compliance with other finance related legal or contractual requirements. Enables users in assessing the service efforts, costs, and accomplishments of the governmental entity along with information from other sources, helps users assess the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of government and may help form a basis for voting or funding decisions.

Users of School District Financial Statements The primary users include: Citizens of the school district (taxpayers/voters/service recipients, media, advocate groups, and public finance researchers) Direct representatives of the citizens such as legislatures and oversight bodies (state legislatures, school boards) Investors and creditors (individual and institutional investors, bond rating agencies, intergovernmental grantors)

Objectives of Financial Reporting 2) Assist users in evaluating operating results for the year: Information about sources and uses of financial resources account for outflows by function and purpose account for inflows by source and type extent to which inflows met outflows. identify material nonrecurring financial transactions. Information on how the governmental entity financed its activities and met its cash requirements Whether the entity’s financial position improved or deteriorated as a result of the year’s operations

Objectives of Financial Reporting 3) Assessing Level of Services and Ability to Meet Obligations Financial reporting should assist users in assessing the level of services that can be provided by the governmental entity and its ability to meet its obligations as they become due information about the financial position and condition of a governmental entity. Financial reporting should provide information about resources and obligations, both actual and contingent, current and noncurrent. The major financial resources of most governmental entities are derived from the ability to tax and issue debt. As a result, financial reporting should provide information about tax sources, tax limitation, tax burdens and debt limitations. provide information about physical and other nonfinancial resources having useful lives that extend beyond the current year, including information that can be used to assess the service potential of those resources to assess long- and short-term capital needs. Disclose legal or contractual restrictions on resources and risks of potential loss of resources.

Types of School District Audit Reports Reports required to be submitted to TEA: Annual Financial and Compliance Report, or modified CAFR Report to management from the school district’s independent auditor issued during the annual financial audit Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) and other reports as required by individual TEA divisions GASB Data Feed
