Special Purpose Entity Reporting
If the entity is engaged in governmental and business type activities Use general GASB 34 reporting model (chapters 3-8) and report both fund basis and government-wide financial statements If the entity is engaged in multiple governmental activities Use general GASB 34 model, just omit enterprise funds statements which are not applicable. Again, report both fund basis and government-wide financial statements

Special Purpose Entity Reporting
If the entity is engaged in single governmental activity The entity can prepare governmental fund, government-wide statements, and reconciliation effects all on one statement If the entity is engaged only in business-type activities The entity can prepare enterprise fund financial statements (no need for government-wide) If the entity is engaged only in fiduciary type activities The entity can prepare fiduciary fund financial statements (no need for government-wide)

PUBLIC Colleges and Universities
Public Colleges and Universities are owned by a government. Public College financial reporting is covered by GASB. Private Colleges are not owned by a government and their reporting falls under FASB guidance -- covered in chapter 11. Although there are more private than public colleges in the US, roughly 3/4 of the students attend public institutions.
7
Public Colleges and Universities – GASB 35
GASB 35 requires statements similar to those of special purpose governments under GASB 34. The effect is to require colleges to use the accrual basis and record long-term assets, including infrastructure, along with depreciation.
8
Public College Financial Reports
Although public colleges may have governmental type activities, business type activities, or both Most public colleges, will report as governmental units with “business activities only”. Therefore they will prepare enterprise fund statements Exception: some community colleges that have power to levy property taxes, and may prepare both fund level and government-wide statements

Public College Statement of Net Assets(position)
Assets and Liabilities Are classified as current and noncurrent. Net Assets(position) are Classified as 1) Net Investment in capital assets 2) Restricted -- Nonexpendable and Expendable 3) Unrestricted
