response: Water districts are not subject to rules of the RIS code that govern income recognition. Water districts, since they are government entities, are subject to the basis of accounting prescribed by the Government Accounting Standards Board, and the District's auditor reports based on these standards. The auditor verifies that the District Board approved not only payments to management, but all cash disbursements tested during the audit, and that the District maintains financial records for a minimum of five years, depending on the type of records.
