4 Purpose, Methodology, and Scope Purpose As a result of legislation enacted in 2017, N.J.S.A. 52: requires the State Auditor to report, in writing, to the Legislature on unspent state account balances. This report summarizes fund balances and net positions and provides various analyses that are not presented in the State of New Jersey Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). It will allow legislators to determine which funds need to be further researched for necessity and effectiveness. Methodology and Scope The fund balances and net positions for each fund were reported in the CAFR at June 30 of fiscal years 2015, 2016, and The amounts in this report pertaining to fiscal year 2015 and fiscal year 2016 may in some cases differ from those in the respective CAFRs due to restatements. These restatements are identified in this report with asterisks. We compared the balances by classification over the past three fiscal years. We also reported the unexpended carry forward appropriation balances, by department at June 30, 2017, for the state s budgetary General Fund. We reviewed balances of 144 funds as well as the net position of 11 colleges/universities and 15 authorities. We excluded fiduciary funds (agency funds, private purpose trust funds, pension and other employee benefit trust funds, and the investment trust fund), which are held by the state for the benefit of parties outside of state government, therefore, the assets cannot be used for general state spending. Fund Types Fund Balance Basics General Funds There are 60 funds classified as general in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) reporting standards. This includes in the state s budgetary General Fund, which is the fund most commonly associated with the state s budget (Appendix A). Special Revenue Funds These funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects. The state has 73 special revenue funds (Appendix B). Capital Projects Funds These funds are used to account for financial resources which are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditures for capital outlays including the acquisition Page 1

5 or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. There are 9 capital projects funds (Appendix C). Proprietary Funds These funds are used to account for business-type transactions. Enterprise funds are one type of propriety fund that reports any activity for which a fee is charged to external users for goods or services. The state has 2 enterprise funds (Appendix C). Component Units These are legally separate organizations for which the state is financially accountable, and have a financial benefit or burden relationship. There are currently 11 colleges/universities and 15 authorities the state recognizes in the CAFR as component units (Appendix D). Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting Governmental Funds The general, special revenue, and capital projects funds are reported as governmental funds. Those financial statements are prepared on a modified accrual basis of accounting and focus on current resources. Only current assets and liabilities are reflected. Revenues are recognized when they become both measurable and collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay for current period liabilities. Proprietary Funds The financial statements of these funds are prepared using an accrual basis of accounting and focus on all economic resources. Long-term assets and long-term liabilities are recorded along with current financial resources. Revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flow. Component units Component units are presented similar to proprietary funds. Their financial statements reflect an accrual basis of accounting and an economic resources measurement focus. Fund Balance Classifications GASB Statement No. 54 defines the following fund balance classifications. Nonspendable fund balance includes amounts that are not in a spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. Restricted fund balance includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by external resource providers, constitutionally, or through enabling legislation. Restrictions may be changed or lifted only with the consent of resource providers. Committed fund balance includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government s highest level of decision-making authority. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the government taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally. Page 2

6 Assigned fund balance comprises amounts intended to be used by the government for specific purposes. Intent can be expressed by the governing body or by an official or body to which the governing body delegates the authority. In governmental funds other than the general fund, assigned fund balance represents the amount that is not restricted or committed. This indicates that resources in other governmental funds are, at a minimum, intended to be used for the purpose of that fund. The state does not use this classification. Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the general fund and includes all amounts not contained in the other classifications. Unassigned amounts are technically available for any purpose. If another governmental fund has a fund balance deficit, then it will be reported as a negative amount in the unassigned classification in that fund. Positive unassigned amounts will be reported only in the budgetary General Fund. Page 3

7 Overview of Funds We reviewed 144 funds as well as 26 component units. The majority of the funds are general or special revenue funds. The chart below shows fund balance or net position of the funds and component units reviewed. Dollar Value of Funds, by Fund Type as of June 30, 2017 Component Units $17,129,797,343 General (Including Budgetary General Fund) $4,715,999,948 Special Revenue $7,095,840,319 Proprietary $2,743,189,177 Capital Projects $47,428,765 General (Including Budgetary General Fund) Capital Projects Component Units Special Revenue Proprietary Page 4

8 Governmental Funds Fund Balance Classifications by Fund Type as of June 30, 2017 Governmental funds report fund balances which present the fund s liquidity based on what is available within the scope of the modified accrual timeframe. As shown below, the majority of the fund balance reviewed is restricted (66.83 percent), the remaining fund balance is primarily committed (26.39 percent). It should be noted only the budgetary General Fund has an unassigned fund balance.

There are two proprietary funds; Unemployment Compensation Fund and State Lottery Fund. The Unemployment Compensation Fund had a restricted net position of $2,743,189,177. These funds are restricted by the state constitution to pay only unemployment benefits. Page 5

10 Historical Fund Balance Analysis Governmental Funds We analyzed the fund balances for the general, special revenue, and capital projects funds. The general funds balances had relatively minor fluctuation between fiscal years 2015 and 2016, and a 20 percent increase between fiscal years 2016 and We noted the special revenue funds balances increased by 53 percent from June 30, 2016 to June 30, This increase was due to legislative changes that affected the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority (TTFA). A constitutional amendment dedicated all motor fuels tax revenue and petroleum products gross receipts tax to the state transportation system. Moreover, as of November 1, 2016, a petroleum products gross receipts tax increase was implemented. The amendment authorized $12.0 billion of bonding capacity to cover project costs. The capital projects funds decreased by 82 percent from June 30, 2015 to June 30, This decrease was due to a loan receivable recorded in 2015 that was paid from the TTFA to the Special Transportation Fund in the amount of $242 million and subsequently expended in Proprietary Funds We analyzed the net position for the proprietary funds which is made up almost entirely of the Unemployment Compensation Fund. The increase of net position for the proprietary funds was due to a decrease in unemployment. Component Units We also analyzed the net position for the component units. The aggregate net position of the component units had minimal fluctuation from year to year.

15 Stagnant Fund Balances We reviewed the committed and restricted fund balance for general, special revenue and capital projects funds and the net position for proprietary funds. There were 35 funds with positive year-end balances and a 1 percent or less change between 2015 and 2016, and 2016 and A total of 33 of these funds with an aggregate fund balance of $198.2 million appear to be stagnant, while the remaining 2 funds did have significant revenue and expenditure activity. A total of 19 of the 33 funds that appear stagnant had fund balances less than $1.0 million (aggregate total of $6.5 million), and were not analyzed further. These funds are listed on page 17. The remaining 14 funds had fund balances in excess of $1.0 million and had an aggregate balance of $191.7 million. These funds are listed on page 13. These 14 funds maintained investment accounts with an aggregate total of $114.9 million. Page 12
