Valuation of Investments
Methodology depends on type of investment GASB Statement No. 72 effective FYE 9/30/16
Valuation methods Fair value Price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
In an orderly transaction Between market participants At the measurement date Changes in FV = investment income
![Page 14: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Valuation of Investments
Methodology depends on type of investment GASB Statement No. 72 effective FYE 9/30/16
Valuation methods Amortized cost
Historical cost + amortization of discount/premium Amortization = investment income Sales prior to maturity = gain/loss
Historical cost Principal dollars invested in security, contract, pool
![Page 15: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Repurchase Agreements
Government transfers excess cash to broker-dealer/financial institution to earn additional investment income Broker-dealer/financial institution provides securities as
collateral to government & agrees to repay cash & interest in exchange for same securities at later date
Most considered nonparticipating interest earning investment contracts Valued at historical cost
![Page 19: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Opposite of repurchase agreement Government is seller-borrower who transfers specific securities to
broker-dealer/financial institution in return for cash Government agrees to repay cash & interest in exchange for return of
same securities at later date Done to address temporary cash needs without having to liquidate
investments Collateral securities remain on government’s balance sheet
Some risk exposure Interest rates shift & securities must be liquidated at loss to return cash
to broker/dealer

Depreciation Accounting & Reporting
Option for infrastructure - modified approach Asset management system
Up-to-date inventory Condition assessments & summary using scale Annual estimate of cost to maintain at adopted level
Documentation of condition level Complete condition assessment at least every 3 years Disclose results of 3 most recent complete condition assessments
If don’t meet, change to depreciation in next FY
![Page 32: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Capital Projects Funds

Additions/betterments vs. replacements/ maintenance Capitalize costs of additions & betterments Don't capitalize replacements & maintenance
expenditures Replacements that are partly additions or
betterments Capitalize as appropriate Remove cost of old asset
Requires judgment to determine whether an asset has been enhanced
Costs Incurred After Acquisition

Bond BasicsTypes of Bonds
Term All principal due in full at end of specified term Sinking funds often used to obtain better rates, etc.
Serial Bonds mature serially over entire term of the bonds Level debt service vs. level principal
Conduit debt obligation Government issues debt for third party (not part of reporting entity)
Not obligated to repay = do not record, notes only

Interest received by investors on most bonds issued by SLGs is exempt from federal (& some state) income taxes Investors willing to accept a lower interest rate
on these bonds (i.e. net of tax rate)
Governments formerly could issue bonds at a low tax-exempt rate, invest the proceeds in high yield taxable securities, then use the resulting arbitrage spread for capital/operating purposesKnown as ARBITRAGE

Bond Refundings
Pay off existing debt before due date Current refunding
Use cash (available or bond proceeds) to immediately retire bonds Advance refunding
Establish irrevocable trust for money set aside to retire bonds at early call date
Requires original bond indenture to have a call provision Bond holders usually receive a premium for an early call
Deferred gain = deferred inflow/deferred loss – deferred outflow

Bond Refundings
May do by issuing new debt Why do it this way?
Better interest rate Free up pledged revenue stream Eliminate onerous covenants
In-substance defeasance If not legally/in-substance defeased, can not remove old debt from
books Irrevocable trust = in-substance defeasance
Adequate funds & future earnings to repay old debt at early call date (& between then & now)

Advance Refundings
Legal or in-substance defeasance Old liability is removed from governmental activities In-substance
Proceeds placed in irrevocable trust & liability removed
Legal defeasance Debt legally satisfied based on debt instrument even
though not repaid
JEs similar to those for regular refundings

Questioned Costs
Unallowable
Costs
Certain costs are specifically unallowable under the general and special award conditions or agency instructions. (They may include, but are not limited to, pre-grant and post-grant costs and costs in excess of the approved grant budget, either by category or in total.)
Undocumented
Costs
These costs are charged to the grant, for example, to demonstrate their relationship to the grant or the amounts involved, but they lack adequate detailed documentation.
Unapproved
Costs
These costs are not provided for in the approved grant budget, or they require the awarding agency's approval because of the grant or contract provisions or applicable cost principles, but no evidence of such approval can be found.
Unreasonable
Costs
These are costs incurred that may not be consistent with the actions that a prudent person would take in the circumstances, or in-kind contributions to which unreasonably high valuations have been assigned.

Cost and Cost Concepts
Cost object Any item/purpose for which costs need to be
measured Grant, program, division, etc.
Direct cost Can be clearly identified with/directly related to a
single cost object Economically feasible manner
Indirect cost Cannot be clearly identified with/directly related to a
single cost object
![Page 153: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/153.jpg)
Common cost Related to two or more cost objects
Cost objects could be achieved separately Occupancy costs – multiple use facility
Joint cost Related to two or more cost objects
Cost objects can not be achieved separately Annual meeting costs, certain
publications/brochures

Benefits Received
AKA beneficial relationship Identification of users of outputs from activity Costs allocated among users proportional to
benefit Direct costs – proxy for benefits

Ability to Bear
Cost allocation in proportion to some user attribute Attribute presumed to support charging costs
to user Commercial vs. residential customers
Least preferred

Allocation Methods
Stand-alone Relative sales value (direct cost) Physical units
![Page 160: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/160.jpg)
Stand Alone Allocation Method
Closest to “ability to bear” Allocates indirect costs to each final cost
objective Proportional to SAC to independently
accomplish one objective
![Page 161: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/161.jpg)
Stand Alone Allocation Method
Disadvantages Allocation can change - SAC does not SAC changes, total basis changes SAC may not exist Assumes indirect costs functionally related to
SAC
![Page 162: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/162.jpg)
Stand-Alone Method
Activity A: 500 X 750,000 = $375,000 1,000
Activity B: 400 X 750,000 = $300,000 1,000Activity C: 100 X 750,000 = $75,000 1,000
Problems: An allocation of indirect costs can change Stand-alone costs may not exist
![Page 163: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/163.jpg)
Relative Sales Value Method(Direct Cost Method)
Close to “ability to bear” & “cause & effect” Improvement over stand alone
Sales value/direct cost as allocation basis
![Page 164: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/164.jpg)
Relative Sales Value Method(Direct Cost Method)
Assumes indirect costs incurred in same proportion & for same reason as direct costs (OMB “simplified method”) No change to expense for each objective
compared to total direct costs Increases total reported for each objective
![Page 165: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/165.jpg)
Direct Cost Method
Cost Total Relative Indirect Allocated TotalObjective Direct Share Costs Costs Costs Costs
Activity A: 2,500,000 2,500 x 750,000 = $625,000 3,125,000 3,000

Physical Units Allocation Method
Consistent with “cause & effect” Allocate costs to objectives proportional
to units of activity/output for each objective
May not reflect total effort needed to produce output
Assumes indirect costs incurred proportional to some unit measure of activity/purpose
![Page 167: FGFOA Boot Camp – Day 2 Intermediate Government Accounting Presented by Lynda M. Dennis, PhD, CPA, CGFO.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649e1b5503460f94b096c4/html5/thumbnails/167.jpg)
Cost DeterminationAllocation Steps
1. Reason(s) for cost information
2. Cost objects or purposes
3. Types of relevant costs
4. Assign direct costs to cost objects
5. Select allocation base(s) or cost drivers
6. Allocate indirect costs
7. Ensure appropriateness
