Due to this, the confirmation process has become of high risk. Third party intermediaries have been established to assist in this process by securely transmitting information to the bank and validating the authenticity of the respondent.

For the fiscal year 2009-10 fund balances have been characterized to comply with GASB 54 in order to facilitate year-to year comparisons.” This made the report’s presentation look unusual. Half of the page contains the old account names and the balances from 2005 to 2009. The other half of the page presents the new way of reporting the fund balances and the information for the following years.
