SCHEDULE OF PROGRAM AND FINANCING

This schedule consists of three parts. In the section for program by activities, costs or obligations are classified by purpose, program, or project for 1964, 1965, and 1966. This classification is individually developed for each appropriation or fund, and is not uniform on a Government-wide basis.

The financing section shows the appropriation provided and other means of financing the program, and the disposition of amounts not used during the year.

Program and Financing (in thousands of dollars)

[blocks in formation]

""

Where cost-type budgets are presented, the relation of costs to obligations is summarized in an entry "Change in selected resources." For appropriation accounts, this entry is supported by a footnote identifying the amounts of the resources involved. For revolving funds, the items are identified on the statement of financial condition and the appended tabulation.

Where programs are financed at a "preobligation"
stage (such as the "program plan" for certain Defense
items, and "commitments" for some loan programs) an
extra three columns provide details on that basis.
The third section of the schedule shows receipts and

Several of the object classes are broken down into subclasses-personnel compensation, for example, is shown

[ocr errors]

separately for permanent positions, for positions other
than permanent, and for certain other payments. A third
digit is therefore used in the object schedules to identify
the subclasses; a zero is used for the third digit when
there are no subclasses. Additional entries are shown for
unvouchered obligations (those for which accountability
is waived; coded 91.0) and those which cannot be dis-
tributed by object class (coded 92.0), and for certain other
adjusting entries to reach a total which agrees with the
total obligations shown in the program and financing
schedule.

A personnel summary is appended to the object classification schedule, as illustrated:

The balance sheet excludes balances of appropriations and borrowing authorizations which have not yet been paid into the revolving fund. The section on equity of the Government is divided into three subsections as appro priate: (a) interest-bearing capital, (b) non-interestbearing capital, and (c) retained earnings.

Because the balance sheet is on an accrual basis, it does not reflect the obligations incurred which have not yet matured into liabilities, nor does it reflect unfilled customer orders received and available as a basis for obligation in the case of intragovernmental revolving funds. Therefore there is normally appended to the balance sheet an "Analy sis of Government Equity" which shows obligations other than liabilities, the unobligated balance, unfilled cus tomers' orders on hand (where relevant), and invested cap ital and earnings, as in the following example:
