Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total fund balances presented in Governmental Funds Statements are different from the total Net Position on the government-wide Statement of Net Position because the two statements have different bases of accounting and because most internal service funds are included in the governmental activities column on the government-wide statements. Capital assets used in governmental operations are not financial resources and therefore not reported in the funds. Some liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and are not reported in fund balances. Accrued wages payable at year end are reported in both.
