Differences between GFRS to TFM – July 2018 Published Date  

TFM Appendix 3 Note 1 –  

Note 1 in GFRS will now be called Other significant events and accounting changes. 

Agencies will fill out section A, “Significant events or transactions since the financial statement date that 

requires disclosure” most Agencies will be entering zero in the field then going over to the text data tab 

to type in the answers to the following questions: 

o Describe any significant events or transactions that occurred after the date of the 

Balance Sheet but before the issuance of agency's audited financial statements that 

have a material effect on the financial statements and; therefore, require adjustments 

or disclosure in the statements. 

o Describe any departures from U.S. GAAP. 

o When applying the general rule of the Statements of Federal Financial Accounting 

Standards describe the specific potential accruals that are not made and the practical 

and inherent limitations affecting the accrual of taxes and duties. 

o Describe any change in accounting if a collecting entity adopts accounting standards 

that embody a fuller application of accrual accounting concepts that differ from that 

prescribed by SFFAS No. 7, par. 48. 

o Describe any additional significant accounting policies specific to the agency not 

included in GFRS Module GF006 FR Notes. 

The TFM is no longer editable, so the above will be a departure from the current TFM 4700 guidance.  

We will not be collected any of this information in OMB Max. 

TFM Appendix 3 Note 4A – Data will now be collected in GFRS Note 4C 

Due to the complexity of our GFRS application, the published TFM guidance for Note 4A (below) has 

become Note 04C in GFRS for FY2018.  With the updated TFM requirements for Note 4A and historical 

data needed from prior year to complete a format JV, it was decided the best action plan was to leave 

Note 04A as it was in GFRS.  This will allow CFRB to perform a format JV on prior year data to the new 

data requirements for FY 2018, which has become Note 04C.

TFM Appendix 4 Note 16 – Note 16 is inactive in GFRS. Due to the large overhaul of this note and 

system limitations, Note 16 data will now be collected in Note 20. Also in Section A – Components of 

Loans Receivable, Gross, the Column headings and Row headings are reversed.
