Overview
This Section establishes standards on how to account for and report long-term debt in government financial statements, including debt issued on behalf of a government business enterprise.
A government issues debt for its government business enterprises in one of two ways:
- The proceeds of general government borrowing are subsequently loaned to a government business enterprise.
- Debt is issued by the government specifically on behalf of the government business enterprise and the government expects to realize the receivable from the government business enterprise and settle the external debt simultaneously.
Financial statements should disclose information to highlight the composition of a government's long-term debt.
