The transactions below are for Cardinal County's General Fund Remember the rule in governmental accounting is that a revenue isrecorded when the money can be spent. If the governmental unit (city, county, township, state) receives funds beforethey can be spent, it is recorded as either an unearned revenue (also called "deferred" revenue) or as a deferredinflow (this is covered in my chapter 3 notes). Property taxes can be spent in the year associatedwith the tax levy. Some grants will specify, in some way, when the money can be spent. Thesefacts need to be considered in determining if a revenue is recorded vs deferred inflow or unearnedrevenue. Please record the entries below.
