Overview
This document provides guidance for the preparation and submission of Component Unit and Related Organization financial statements and other financial data.
Component Units
Component Units are legally separate public corporations and agencies for which the elected officials of the Commonwealth are financially accountable. In addition, component units can be other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the Commonwealth are such that exclusion would cause the Commonwealth's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The Commonwealth is required to incorporate the financial data of all component units in its financial statements.Related Organizations
Related Organizations are organizations or entities for which the elected officials of the Commonwealth are accountable because they appoint a voting majority of the board, but are not financially accountable. The Commonwealth is required to disclose the nature of its accountability for related organizations in the notes to the financial statements.Procedures
The Reporting Procedures for Component Units are available in their entirety in PDF format.
