NTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM ; �,r��,�

To: Mayor Georg Latimer � ���`�, �
J C+�
From: Greg lees, Budget Director �
Jim S yder, Chief Accountant
Date: Novem er 4, 1986
RE: Yeare d Enc mbered Balances Policy and Procedure c ange
At yearend, t is common practice for governments to
recognize th ir fi ancial obligations relating to approve
contracts fo good and services that have not yet been
performed; t is pr ctice is called "encumbering" . It is
normally acc mplis ed by setting aside budgeted spending
authority in a "pr or yearend encumbered balance" that is
reserved to eet t e eventual payment obligation.
We have disc vered that the existing policy and procedure or
accounting f r pri r yearend encumbered balances creates s me
problems.
The major di ficul ies associated with the existing method
are:
� an ac ivity manager must now seek out spending
infor ation in two separate reports--part of the
infor ation is recorded in a report called the Curr nt
Ledge and art of the information is recorded in t e
Prior Year edger;
� the p epara ion of the annual budget and actual
spend ng fi ancial statements is difficult and time
consu ing b cause it has become necessary to "back ut"
spend ng re orded against the prior yearend encumbe ed
balan es in order to reconcile to other current yea
finan ial s atements;
• speci 1 req irements had to be imposed on the FM80
finan ial s stem in order to record separate spendi g
infor ation for the current year and the prior yea .
We propose t at a hange be made to the existing method f
accounting f r spe ding against the prior yearend encumbe d
balances.
We recommend the f llowing procedure:
. _ � r �
, - , �-
Mayor George Latim r
Page Two
November 4 , 986
• The a ount f spending authority reserved for prio
yeare d enc mbered balances be allowed to lapse at
yeare d, cr ating a fund balance.
• This ame f nd balance would be reappropriated in t e
new y ar's udget by council resolution.
This propose meth d of recording and reporting prior year nd
encumbered b lance does not represent an increase or decr ase
in spending uthor ty, it merely facilitates the recording and
reporting of all e penditures incurred in the current year
against the urren year budget.
We suggest t at th new method be implemented as soon as
possible.
If you appro e thi change, a council resolution will be
prepared aut orizi g our recommended method of accounting or
prior yearen encu bered balances. In addition, a second
council reso ution will be readied to amend the 1986 budge to
reappropriat the rior yearend encumbered balances of 198 .
