NESHOBA COUNTY Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended September 30, 1997 14 (1) Significant Accounting Policies. A. Financial Reporting Entity. Neshoba County is a political subdivision of the State of Mississippi. The county is governed by an elected five-member Board of Supervisors. Generally accepted accounting principles require Neshoba County to present these financial statements on the primary government and its component units which have significant operational or financial relationships with the county. Management has chosen to omit from these financial statements the following component units which have significant operational or financial relationships with the county. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include the data of all of the county's component units necessary for reporting in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Neshoba County Public Library Neshoba County General Hospital and Nursing Home Neshoba County Industrial Development Authority Linwood Volunteer Fire District House Volunteer Fire District County Line Volunteer Fire District Dixon Volunteer Fire District Tucker Volunteer Fire District Fairview Volunteer Fire District Hope Volunteer Fire District State law pertaining to county government provides for the independent election of county officials. The following officials are all part of the county legal entity and therefore are reported as part of the primary government financial statements. Board of Supervisors Chancery Clerk Circuit Clerk Justice Court Clerk Purchase Clerk Tax Assessor-Collector Sheriff The component unit discussed in Note 1B below is included in the county s reporting entity. NESHOBA COUNTY Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended September 30, 1997 15 B. Individual Component Unit Disclosures. Blended Component Unit Certain component units, although legally separate from the primary government, are nevertheless so intertwined with the primary government that they are, in substance, the same as the primary government. Therefore, this component unit’s balances and transactions are blended with the balances and transactions of the primary government. The Neshoba County Public Improvement Corporation is governed by a three-member board of directors appointed by the county Board of Supervisors. Although it is legally separate from the county, the corporation is reported as if it were part of the primary government because its sole purpose is to finance and construct a jail for Neshoba County prisoners. C. Basis of Presentation. The accompanying financial statements of the primary government have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. However, the primary government financial statements, because they do not include the financial data of the county's component units, do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of its Enterprise Fund Type for the entire reporting entity. D. Account Classifications. The account classifications used in the financial statements conform to the broad classifications recommended in Governmental Accounting, Auditing and Financial Reporting as issued in 1994 by the Government Finance Officers Association and the Mississippi County Financial Accounting Manual as revised in 1993 by the Office of the State Auditor. E. Fund Accounting. The financial activities of the county are recorded in individual funds and account groups used to report financial position and results of operations. Fund accounting is used to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions relating to certain government functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts, segregated for the purpose of carrying on specific activities or attaining certain objectives in accordance with specific regulations, restrictions or limitations. An account group is a financial reporting device designated to provide accountability for certain assets and liabilities that are not recorded in funds because they do not directly affect net expendable available financial resources. The following fund categories, which are further subdivided into separate "fund types", are utilized by the county: GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES General Fund - This fund is used to account for all activities of the general government for which a separate fund has not been established. Special Revenue Funds - These funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than for major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. Special Revenue Funds account for, among others, certain federal grant programs, taxes levied with statutorily defined distributions and other resources restricted as to purpose. NESHOBA COUNTY Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended September 30, 1997 16 Debt Service Funds - These funds are used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, general long-term debt principal, interest and related costs. Capital Projects - These funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities. Such resources are derived principally from proceeds of general obligation bond issues and federal grants. PROPRIETARY FUND TYPE Enterprise Funds - These funds are used to account for those operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises or where the county has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred and/or net income is necessary for management accountability. FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE Agency Funds - These funds account for various taxes, deposits and other monies collected or held by the county, acting in the capacity of an agent, for distribution to other governmental units or designated beneficiaries. ACCOUNT GROUPS - The General Fixed Assets Account Group is used to account for general fixed assets not accounted for in Proprietary Funds. The General Long-term Debt Account Group is used to account for general long-term debt and certain other liabilities that are not specific liabilities of Proprietary Funds. F. Basis of Accounting/Measurement Focus. Governmental Fund Types and Agency Funds - All Governmental Funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by all Governmental Fund Types and Agency Funds. Under this method, revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they become both available and measurable to finance operations during the year or to liquidate liabilities existing at the end of the year. Available means collected in the current year or soon enough after year end to liquidate liabilities existing at the end of the year. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred. Modifications to the accrual basis of accounting include: • Licenses, fees, fines and forfeits and other miscellaneous revenues are recognized when received since they normally are only measurable at that time. • Property taxes are recognized as revenue when received because the remaining delinquent property taxes not collected before the close of the fiscal year are considered immaterial. See Note 1M for further explanation. • Principal and interest on general long-term debt are recognized when due. • Obligations for accumulated unpaid employee benefits are recognized when paid. NESHOBA COUNTY Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended September 30, 1997 17 Proprietary Fund Types - All Proprietary Funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Fund equity (i.e., net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings components. Proprietary operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets. The accrual basis of accounting is utilized. Under this method, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized at the time liabilities are incurred. G. Budgetary Process and Accounting. Process: Statutory requirements dictate how and when the county's budget is to be prepared. Generally, in the month of August, prior to the ensuing fiscal year beginning each October 1, the Board of Supervisors of the county, using historical and anticipated fiscal data and proposed budgets submitted by the Sheriff and the Tax Assessor-Collector for his or her respective department, prepares an original budget for each of the Governmental Funds for said fiscal year. The completed budget for the fiscal year includes for each fund every source of revenue, each general item of expenditure and the unencumbered cash and investment balances. When during the fiscal year it appears to the Board of Supervisors that budgetary estimates will not be met, it may make revisions to the budget. Accounting: The county's budget is prepared principally on the cash basis of accounting. All appropriations lapse at year end and there are no encumbrances to budget because state law does not require that funds be available when goods or services are ordered, only when payment is made. H. Cash and Investments. State law authorizes the county to invest in interest bearing time certificates of deposit for periods of fourteen days to one year with depositories and in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, State of Mississippi, or any county, municipality or school district of this state. Further, the county may invest in certain repurchase agreements that have a term of less than fourteen days. Cash includes cash on hand, demand deposits, all certificates of deposit and cash equivalents, which are short- term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash (generally three months or less). Investments in governmental securities are stated at cost or amortized cost. However, the county did not invest in any governmental securities during the fiscal year. I. Receivables. Receivables are reported net of allowances for uncollectible accounts, where applicable. J. Interfund Receivables/Payables. Transactions between funds that are representative of short-term lending/borrowing arrangements, and transactions that have not resulted in the actual transfer of cash at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as "interfund receivables/payables." Noncurrent portions of interfund receivables and payables are reported as "advances to/from other funds." Advances between funds are offset by a fund balance reserve account in applicable Governmental Funds to indicate that they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources.
