General Notes

Other general notes:

•  The "beginning fund balance" is to be the total amount projected to be in the fund the start of the fiscal year (this is understood to be an estimate).
•  New sub-section for "Capital Costs" is designed to reinforce BARS 541 is intended for use by GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) entities using the modified approach for asset reporting.
•  "Property Tax" revenue and "Traffic Policing" expenditures should not include any diverted Road Levy (RCW 36.33.220) amounts.

 

 

It is no longer necessary to send us your adopted budget document.

 

Note: CRAB is considering requiring a new end-of-May form for counties to report actual revenues and expenditures.  If implemented, the form would be nearly identical to this budget summary form in level of detail.  This step would likely take place together with a significant simplification of the required end-of-May financial report to WSDOT.
