It's exciting stuff, I tell you. That's why I went into politics, by the way. I got my CMA and I realized accounting wasn't my calling.
I do appreciate the presentation because it does allow us to understand the basics of accrual accounting. Slide 12 here illustrates that it's not simply accrual accounting we're looking at. The current process is more of a hybrid in terms of cash-basis accounting versus accrual.
I ask you, is that disconnect a problem? Is it better to have two cash bases, for example, when we're talking about budgeting versus reporting? When it comes to reporting we have an accrual basis, but when it comes to budgeting we have a cash basis. Can a conflict possibly arise from that? For example, when a decision is made, when you look at it on a cash basis it might make sense, but on an accrual basis it might not make sense. Is that conflict something you see often, or does nothing like that exist?
