Methodology of Gathering Data (including name of State agency and detail description of data)
  • There is no new type of data that must be gathered to prepare the GASB 34 finanicial statements.
  • The Division of Accounts and Reports, as noted above prepares the adjustments.
  • Information is obtained from the State Treasurer's office, PMIB, KDFA and certain agencies.
Material State Agencies Affected
  • Although all agencies have cash and investments, the only agencies that will be involved in gathering the information for the financial statements are the following:
    • Administration - Division of Accounts and Reports.
    • State Treasurer's Office.
    • Kansas Development Finance Authority.
    • Kansas Public Employees Retirement System.
    • Kansas State University.
    • Emporia State University.
    • University of Kansas.
    • Pooled Money Investment Board.
Policies
  • Investment income is shown in the fund with the investment balance and then transferred to other funds if required.
  • The pooled cash investments gain / loss for fair value is shown in the state general fund.
  • Cash and cash equivalents include currency on hand and demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions as well as short-term, highly liquid investments that are both (1) readily convertible to known amounts of cash and (2) so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of interest rates, specifically overnight repurchase agreements.
  • Investments include all investments, except overnight repurchase agreements.
  • Investments in STARS are reported at amortized and converted for GAAP reporting to fair value.
  • Current investments are those that mature in one year (prior to June 30 of the next year). The rationale being that a current investment should be used to provide for current operations. To further clarify if you have a three year investment that matures before June 30 of the next year, classify it as a current investment. However, if you have a three year investment that doesn't mature until after June 30 of the next year, classify it as a non-current investment.
