Capital outlay Depreciation expense Donated services capitalized The capital projects funds accounted for the construction of Water ,Sewer and Storm water fund assets. These costs of these assets are recorded as expense in the fund statements. When these assets are complete, they are transferred from the governmental to the business-type activities. The issuance of long-term debt provides current financial resources to governmental funds, while the repayment of principal of long-term debt consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net assets. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. Principal repayments Bond issuance costs Interest on long-term debt in the statement of activities differs from the amount reported in the governmental fund because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due, and thus requires the use of current financial resources.

Under the modified accrual basis of accounting certain revenues cannot be recognized until they are available to liquidate liabilities of the current period.
