CITY OF EUGENE, OREGON Notes to Basic Financial Statements (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued (O) Indirect Expenses Allocation In the fund financial statements, the City allocates certain indirect costs incurred by the central services function of the General Fund to non-general funds in order to recover expenditures made on behalf of those other City funds. This allocation has been removed from the direct expenses column in the government-wide Statement of Activities and a separate column titled indirect expenses allocation has been presented. Indirect costs allocated to business-type activities are equal to the amount actually paid by the function.

The remaining net expense in the central services function represents direct program activity of that function including its share of allocated indirect costs.
