Expense Adjustments/Eliminations (GAAP)

The rules for Expense Adjustments/Eliminations (GAAP) only apply to capital projects in a proprietary fund with an appropriation index and SBCTC Project Number assigned by the State Board Capital Budget staff.

When capital projects are funded in allotted proprietary type funds (4xx-5xx), accounts 5040540 through 5040670 should be used to reclassify all capital expenses to capital assets (accounts 1120010 through 1121120). Capital asset accounts should be debited, and the following accounts should be credited. This should result in net zero capital expenses in these funds since proprietary funds should never end the year with capital expenses.

SAAM describes it this way: Expense adjustments are…used in allotted funds when a difference occurs in the GAAP and budgetary recording of an accounting event. For example, when purchasing a capital asset in an allotted enterprise fund, it is necessary to debit the appropriate capital asset account and credit cash or accounts payable. For budgetary accounting, it is also necessary to debit accounts 5040010 through 5040132 and/or 5040140 through 5040270 and credit this GL account.
