Question Title: AICPA Newly Released 2014
Lecture to be assigned to: F8
Topic to be assigned to: 1-Governmental Accounting Overview
Page reference (page # and outline point): F8-7, IV.D.1
ANSWER:
Choice "a" is correct. The government-wide financial statements are presented using the
economic resources measurement focus using the accrual basis of accounting, similar to
commercial enterprises.
Choice "b" is incorrect. Although the government-wide financial statements use the economic
resources measurement focus, they use the accrual and not the modified accrual basis of
accounting. The modified accrual basis of accounting is used for governmental fund financial
statements and is never paired with the economic resources measurement focus in
governmental settings.
Choice "c" is incorrect. Although the government-wide financial statements use the accrual
basis of accounting, they use the economic resources measurement focus and not the current
financial resources measurement focus. The current financial resources measurement focus is
used for governmental fund financial statements and is never paired with the accrual basis of
accounting in governmental settings.
Choice "d" is incorrect. The current financial resources measurement focus and modified
accrual basis of accounting describe the accounting principles associated with governmental
fund financial statements and not the government-wide financial statements. The governmentwide
financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and
the accrual basis of accounting, similar to commercial enterprises.
