INTRODUCTION
Effective with the June 30, 2002 audit, Iredell County will be
required to implement Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement No. 34. This guide has been prepared to help
implement the new reporting requirements. Included in this policy
are asset category definitions and capitalization thresholds.
Capital assets are real or personal property that have a value
equal to or greater than the capitalization threshold for the
particular classification of the asset and have an estimated life
of greater than one year. Assets purchased, constructed or
donated that meet or exceed the established capitalization
thresholds or minimum reporting requirements must be uniformly
classified. Departments are encouraged to report their property
inventory through annual inventory, purchasing requirements and
employee owner/assignment records.
