body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Receive the monthly financial report for April 2024. The report provides the revenue and expenditures through the previous month end, with year to date actuals to budget and comparison to previous year actuals, for the time frame.
No accruals are recorded on the monthly financial report. Except at fiscal year-end, when accruals are recoded per accounting standards, revenue is essentially reported when cash is received and expenditures are reported when cash payments are made. Many revenue and expenditure transactions do not occur at uniform time or equal intervals throughout the year.
Making sense of the information presented in the monthly reports requires consideration of cash flow factors of major revenues and expenditures. For instance, while expenditure outflows for normal operations tend to be relatively even, the cash flow timing of capital expenditures and major revenues, such as property taxes, are not distributed as evenly. Staff will highlight these issues for Council and the public's ease of review on this and future reports through footnotes on the reports.
