When bonds are issued for more than their par value, the premium can be interpreted as an adjustment of the interest rate and transferred to the debt service fund — the fund in which resources for the payment of debt will be accumulated. Although the same interpretation can be placed upon bond discounts, there may be no funds available in the debt service fund (or any other fund) for transfer to the capital projects fund.

Interest expenditure, by contrast, should not be accrued; it should be reported as an expenditure only as due. The rationale for recognizing the expenditure only as the interest is due is that most jurisdictions will not appropriate the resources to pay the interest, or transfer them to the debt service fund, until then. “To accrue the debt service fund expenditure and liability in one period but record the transfer of financial resources for debt service purposes in a later period would be confusing and would result in overstatement of debt service fund expenditures and liabilities and understatement of the fund balance,” according to GASB standards. However, if the resources have been transferred in to the debt service fund, then interest may (it does not have to) be accrued. 4.
