Budgetary Accounting

Purpose Record appropriation status Record subdivisions of budgetary

authorities Record valid commitments, obligations,

expenditures, outlays Control use of budgetary authorities

Use for appropriate purpose Use during time provided Use within amount provided

Page 21: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

Budgetary Definitions

Appropriations Congressional authorization to obligate

government and make payment from the Treasury

Apportionment Distribution of congressional budgetary

authority to a federal agency by OMB Allotment

Distribution of apportioned budgetary authority to organizational activities

Commitment Administrative reservation of budgetary

authority

Charges…that reflect liabilities incurred and the need to pay for:

services… goods…received… amounts becoming owed under programs

for which no current service or performance is required (such as annuities, benefit payments..)*

Expenditures accrue regardless of when cash payments are made…*

Placed with and accepted by: A DoD Government Owned and

Government Operated (GOGO) establishment.

Shipyard, arsenal, ordinance plant or other manufacturing plant or shop.

Page 43: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

43

Project Orders

Same as a commercial contract to the customers’ appropriation

Extends beyond the life of the appropriation. Up to five years after the appropriation expires for new obligations

Over-billing may create a 31 USC 1517 violation

Normally issued for the overhaul or manufacturing of a specific number of items within a specific time frame for a specific price

Performing activity should incur costs of not less than 51% of the total costs of performing the work

The performing activity must not accept the project order if the requirements of the project order regulations are not met

A Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request (DD 448 Form) is used to issue project orders

Page 44: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

44

Project Order Characteristics

Specific regarding work to be done Single purpose with identification to a final product

or end item

Includes a production schedule

Includes funded cost per item

Usually mission oriented

Be performed in house

Bona fide need in the year executed

Commence work within a reasonable time (90 days)

Return orders for cancellation if work financed by an expiring appropriation is not started by 1 January

Page 45: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

45

Economy Act Orders Must be closed-out by 30

September. Change in dollar amount requires:

An amendment to the original MIPR (DD Form 448).

Acceptance (DD Form 448-2) of the amendment by the performing activity.

Adjust the obligation in accounting based on the acceptance of (DD Form 448-2).

Page 46: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

Non-Economy Act Orders Non-Economy Act orders are for intra-

governmental support, where a DoD activity needing goods and services obtains them from a Non-DoD agency.

Specific statutory authority is required to place an order with a Non-DoD agency for goods or services, and to pay the associated cost.

If specific statutory authority does not exist, the default will be the Economy Act, 31 U.S.C. 1535.

Page 47: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

47

Customer/Provider Scenario

Customer (ordering agency) prepares MIPR requesting the repair and overhaul of 400 widgets for a total cost of $ 1,300,000. The MIPR was issued as a Project Order and is funded with an annual O&M appropriation

Performing agency accepts the MIPR and prepares a MIPR acceptance, DD Form 448-2

Based on the MIPR acceptance the ordering agency records an obligation in their accounting records and the performing agency records an order received in their accounting records in the amount of $1,300,000

How do we Link to the Budget?

Accounting events are assigned unique identifiers from a standard government-wide list (U.S. Standard General Ledger)

All federal agencies are required to use these standard accounts in order to properly link to the Budget

Proprietary Accounting

Purpose Accounting for assets and liabilities Accounting for revenues and

expenses Determining financial position Determining results of operations

SFFAS NO. 7

Page 55: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

Proprietary Accounting

Balance Sheet Assets = Liabilities + Net Position 1000 Assets = 2000 Liabilities +

3000 Net Position (Capital)

Statement of Net Cost Expenses – Exchange Revenue =

Net Cost of Operations

Page 56: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

56

The Historical Cost Concept

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires that assets always be stated at their actual cost rather than at their current market values

Accounting is concerned with what you paid for something, not what it is worth today

Page 57: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

57

The Matching Principle Concept

Expenses of a period that are recorded and reported are only those incurred to produce the revenues generated for the same period

Some expenses require periodic adjustment to reflect only the amount of expenses for the financial period

Examples: Prepaid Insurance Prepaid Rent Depreciation of Capital Assets

Page 58: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

58

Cash versus Accrual Accounting

Cash accounting -- revenue is recorded when cash is

received and expenses when cash payment is made

fails to match revenue with related expenses, therefore does not lead to logical income measurement

Page 59: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

61

Accrual Accounting (cont.) Example: $10,000 payroll that is split

between two reporting periods: A portion is earned but not paid at end of

the month: 4 days ($4,000) earned in September 6 days($6,000 to be earned in October) $4,000 is recorded as a payroll

expense in September. $4,000 is recorded as a liability (salaries payable)

General Journal

“Original” day-to-day record showing the “debit” and “credit” effect of each event

Includes a brief explanation for each event

Used to update the general ledger accounts

Page 65: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

65

Ledger Account

Means of accumulating in “one place” all information regarding changes in a specific account

Comprised of three elements title left side which is called the debit side right side which is called the credit

side Commonly referred to as a “T Account”

Page 66: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

66

General Ledger

All ledger accounts are maintained within the general ledger

Federal government general ledger account structure is established, maintained, and updated by the Treasury Department

Page 67: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

67

Accounts And Ledgers Accounts Are Classified As Follows:

Assets - (What Is Owned) Liabilities - (What Is Owed) Costs/Expenses - (What Is Spent) Revenue/Income - (What Is Earned) Equity - (Assets –Liabilities = Net Worth)

Gains/LossesBudgetMemorandum

Page 68: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

68

The Accounting Equation Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Or

A = L + E

Or

A – L = E

Given The Accounting Equation, With Any Two Of The Three Factors, We Can Determine The Third Factor

Page 69: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

69

Double Entry Accounting

Forms the basis for most current day accounting operations

Every business transaction affects two or more accounts

Equal debit and credit entries are made for every transaction

Total of all debit entries must equal the total of all credit entries

Page 70: 1 Introduction to Federal Accounting Presented by: John Reifsnyder, CDFM Graduate School Instructor johnreifsnyder@cox.net.

70

Normal Account Balance

Refers to the Debit (left side) or Credit (right side) of a ledger account

Assets normally have debit balances Liabilities and net position accounts

normally have credit balances Expense accounts normally have

debit balances Revenue accounts normally have

credit balances
