The significant accounting policies used by the City of Eugene are described in Note (1) to the financial statements. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. The most significant estimate affecting the financial statements was the determination of depreciation on capital assets. The accounting policies relating to capital assets and depreciation are described in footnote 1. J. to the comprehensive annual financial report.
