The Entity Non Entity Indicator identifies assets as either those that the reporting entity has authority to use in its operations (Entity Assets), or held by an entity but are not available to the entity to use in its operations (Non-Entity Assets). The authority to use funds in an entity's operations means that entity's management has the authority to decide how funds are used, or management is legally obligated to use funds to meet entity obligations, e.g., repay loans from Treasury. An example of non-entity assets is income tax receivables, which the Internal Revenue Service collects for the U.S. Government but has no authority to spend. |
