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.
