The accounting system of the District is also designed to provide budgetary control over the revenues and expenditures of each fund. The accounting principles of the District conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to governmental units or, in the case of the discretely presented component units, the Chicago Horticultural Society (“Chicago Botanic Garden”) and Chicago Zoological Society (“Brookfield Zoo”), as applicable to not-for-profits. The accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles is the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and for establishing not- for-profit accounting and financial reporting principles is the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The District’s budget is developed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. With respect to government-wide funds, expendable trust funds and agency funds, the District follows the modified accrual basis of accounting in which revenues are recognized when they become both measurable and available as net current assets. Available means collectible within the current period or 60 days thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Taxpayer assessed taxes, gross receipts and personal property replacement taxes are considered “measurable” when they are in the hands of intermediary collecting governments and are recognized as revenue at that time. Anticipated refunds of such taxes are recorded as liabilities and reductions of revenue when they are measurable and their validity seems certain. Revenues considered to be susceptible to accrual are: real estate taxes, personal property replacement taxes, land sale proceeds, concession receivables and interest receivables. 2 THE BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS The Forest Preserve District of Cook County Board of Commissioners must adopt the annual operating budget before or within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any fiscal year, which begins January 1. The Annual Appropriation Ordinance includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. The budget development process begins with each department submitting a detailed request for appropriations to the Director of Budget and Management. These requests are reviewed with the Chief Financial Officer and General Superintendent. Further review occurs during meetings among the President, General Superintendent and Finance Committee of the Board. The President’s Appropriation Ordinance recommendations are then submitted to the Board and referred to the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee holds public hearings throughout the County. The Finance Committee may offer amendments to the President’s recommendations before submitting the Appropriation Ordinance to the Board for final approval. The budget is available for public review for at least ten (10) days prior to the Board’s passage of the Annual Appropriation Ordinance. The Board must hold at least one public hearing on the budget prior to legally enacting it through the passage of the Annual Appropriation Ordinance. The Chief Financial Officer is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between various line items within any fund. The Board must approve any revisions increasing the total expenditures of any fund. The budget information referenced in the financial statements includes adjustments, if any, made during the year. The level of control where expenditures may not exceed the budget is the fund level of activity. With the exception of unspent Capital Improvement, Construction and Development and Bond Funds, budgeted amounts lapse at year-end and are not carried forward to succeeding years. State statute permits the Capital Improvement Fund to remain open for five years. Unspent budgeted amounts for the Capital Improvement Fund are carried forward for four (4) succeeding years until the fund is closed. A comparison of actual results of operations to the
