5200 | Fund Transfers | Transactions which withdraw money from one fund and place it in another without recourse Unless state law prohibits, revenues should be allocated to the appropriate funds when received, rather than accepted in the general fund and later transferred Interfund loans are not recorded here, but are handled through the balance sheet accounts To record the debit side of a transfer, the last two digits of the source code must be used to identify the fund number of the destination fund An example is: A transfer from the General Fund to the Food Service Fund is coded as 5251, and by nature this carries a debit balance; this is a reduction of revenue out of the General Fund The corresponding Source code in the Food Service fund would be 5210 and carries a credit balance, and is an increase in revenue See Revised Appendix F, “Fund Transfers,” for an example Please note that Object Code 0930 is no longer used to record the debit (expenditure) side of fund transfers |

5800 | Colorado Preschool Program | Used only to record the districts CPP allocation Source code 5800 may be used to record these CPP allocations To record the debit side of an allocation, the last two digits of the source code must be used to identify the fund number of the destination fund: fund 19 for District CPP and Fund 11 for Charter School CPP Example: an allocation from the General Fund (Fund 10) to the District CPP Fund 19 is coded 5819 and to the Charter School CPP fund 11 is coded 5811 The corresponding source code in the CPP Fund 19 or Fund 11 is 5810 Additional funds transferred to fund 19 should be coded using the 5200 transfer coding structure (see Appendix F) See Appendix O, “Allocations” For How to Use 5700 and 5800 |

6750 | Committed Fund Balance | Amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by formal action of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority should be reported as committed fund balance. Those committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose unless the government removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action it employed to previously commit those amounts. 6751-6757 are available for District use and will roll to 6750. 6758-6759 are reserved for CDE use only. |

6770 | Unassigned Fund Balance | Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund. This classification represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the General Fund. The General Fund should be the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In other governmental funds, if expenditures incurred for specific purposes exceeded the amounts restricted, committed, or assigned to those purposes, it may be necessary to report a negative unassigned fund balance. If that occurs, amounts assigned to other purposes in that fund should be reduced to eliminate the deficit. If the remaining deficit eliminates all other assigned amounts in the fund, or if there are no amounts assigned to other purposes, the negative residual amount should be classified as unassigned fund balance. A negative residual amount should not be reported for restricted, committed, or assigned fund balances in any fund. 6771-6777 are available for District use and will roll to 6770. 6778-6779 are reserved for CDE.Reporting EncumbrancesFor governments that use encumbrance accounting, significant encumbrances should be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements by major funds and nonmajor funds in the aggregate in conjunction with required disclosures about other significant commitments. Encumbering amounts for specific purposes for which resources already have been restricted, committed, or assigned should not result in separate display of the encumbered amounts within those classifications. Encumbered amounts for specific purposes for which amounts have not been previously restricted, committed, or assigned should not be classified as unassigned but, rather, should be included within committed or assigned fund balance, as appropriate, based on the definitions and criteria. |
