2. MANUAL OF MODEL
ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
(MAP’S)
The Financial Control Division
(FCD) of the New Mexico
Department of Finance and
Administration was created by
NMSA 1978, §6-5-1 as amended.
The responsibilities enumerated in
NMSA 1978, §6-5-1 through§6-5-6,
constitute the strategic, operational,
reporting, and compliance
objectives of FCD and, collectively,
its mission of effectively accounting
for and controlling the use of State
resources.
3. MANAGEMENT TEAM
The State has established a management team to achieve the
objectives. This team consists of the state agencies’ chief
financial officers (CFO). Rule 2.20.5 NMAC, an administrative
rule issued by FCD, establishes the responsibilities of a CFO.
Those responsibilities parallel the state agency strategic,
operational, and reporting and compliance objectives
established by statute and by Rule 2.20.6 NMAC.
4. INTERNAL
CONTROL
ENVIRONMENT
The internal environment includes the tone
of an organization, influencing the risk
consciousness of its people, and is the
basis for all other components of an
enterprise’s risk management.
The State of New Mexico has a low risk
tolerance. This is reflected in its adoption of
generally accepted accounting principles as its
budgetary basis, its adoption by rule of operating
standards, its recognition in statute of model
accounting practices, and its implementation of an
enterprise resource planning tool based on “best
practices.

17. GASB 84 FIDUCIARY ACTIVITY
Traditionally, the most common types of fiduciary activities have been defined benefit
pension and other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plans, which continues to be the
case under the new standard (but with a twist). Other activities that are determined to
be investment trust funds, private purpose trust funds and custodial funds will also
qualify as fiduciary activities and will need to follow the updated reporting guidelines.
The new standard differentiates between certain types of fiduciary activities:
• Fiduciary component units
• Pension and OPEB arrangements that are not component units
• Other fiduciary activities
18. GASB STATEMENT NO. 84
Paragraphs 6-11, defines fiduciary activities for purposes of
accounting and financial reporting. It focuses on 1) whether a
government is controlling the assets, and 2) the beneficiaries
with whom the relationship exists. Separate criteria apply for
fiduciary component units and postemployment benefit
arrangements that are fiduciary activities.
20. CUSTODIAL FUNDS-”CATCH ALL”
Custodial Funds are the only fiduciary fund type that may report assets of fiduciary activities that are not
held in a GASB PEB trust or a GASB other fiduciary trust.
A custodial fund is sometimes used as a clearing account for resources received but not yet allocated to
individual funds. For external financial reporting purposes, however, such resources must be allocated to
the funds that will ultimately receive them, since, once again, fiduciary funds, including custodial funds,
may not report a government’s own resources.
21. GASB 96 –SUBSCRIPTION-BASED INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY ARRANGEMENTS (SBITA)
The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2022, and all reporting periods thereafter.
The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information
needs of financial statement users by (a) establishing uniform
accounting and financial reporting requirements for SBITAs; (b)
improving the comparability of financial statements among
governments that have entered into SBITAs; and (c) enhancing the
understandability, reliability, relevance, and consistency of information
about SBITAs.
22. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED USING THE
CURRENT FINANCIAL RESOURCES MEASUREMENT
FOCUS-SBITA
If a SBITA is expected to be paid from general government resources, the SBITA should be
accounted for and reported on a basis consistent with governmental fund accounting principles.
An expenditure and other financing source should be reported in the period the subscription
asset is initially recognized. The expenditure and other financing source should be measured as
provided in paragraphs 16–18. Subsequent governmental fund subscription payments should be
accounted for consistent with principles for debt service payments on long-term debt.
