Note 16: Imputed Financing


To measure the full cost of activities, SFFAS No. 4, Managerial Cost Accounting Concepts and Standards for the Federal Government, requires that total costs of programs include imputed financing. Such costs result when an entity receives unreimbursed services from other U.S. government entities.


Imputed financing consists of future pension benefits for AOC employees that are paid on its behalf by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), printing services provided by the GPO, design elements paid for by the Army Corps of Engineers to improve building infrastructure campus-wide, capital projects performed by another federal agency, and Treasury judgment fund payments, as applicable.


With some exceptions, employees participate in one of three defined benefit retirement programs based on their employment start date: employee and employer con- tributions are made to the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF), the Civil Service Retirement Offset, or the Federal Employees Retirement System—all administered by OPM. Employees may also participate in the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), a defined contribution retirement savings and investment plan, as authorized by the Federal Employees Retirement System Act of 1986. The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board administers this Plan.


Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS): According to PL 99-335, all employees hired prior to January 1, 1987, could elect CSRS or CSRS Offset. The CSRS provides a basic annuity and Medicare coverage. The CSRS fund covers most employees hired prior to January 1, 1984. AOC and the employee contribute to Medicare at the rate pre- scribed by law. AOC does not match contributions to the TSP for employees who participate in the CSRS.


Civil Service Retirement System Offset: CSRS Offset generally covers those employees who have had a break in their CSRS service of more than one and less than five years by the end of 1986. AOC and the employee contribute to Social Security and Medicare at the rates prescribed by law. AOC does not match contributions to TSP for participating employees in the CSRS Offset.


Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS): According to PL 99-335, employees with less than five years of creditable civilian service, as of the effective date in 1986, were automatically converted to FERS. In addition, during certain periods in 1987, 1988 and 1998, employees hired before January 1, 1984, could choose to participate in FERS. This system consists of Social Security, a basic annuity plan and the TSP.


AOC and the employee contribute to Social Security and Medicare at rates prescribed by law. In addition, AOC is required to contribute to the TSP a minimum of 1 percent per year of the basic pay of employees covered by this system. AOC also matches a voluntary employee contribution up to 3 percent dollar-for-dollar, and another 2 percent is matched 50 cents on the dollar.


Imputed Financing for the periods ending September 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

NOTE 17: Net Cost of Operations Related to Payroll


The SNC reports AOC’s gross and net cost by responsibility segment. A responsibility segment is the organizational component (i.e., jurisdiction) that carries out a major line of activity and whose managers report directly to top management. The net cost of operations is the gross cost less any earned revenues.


Expenses for salaries and related benefits for the periods ending September 30, 2014 and 2013, as shown in the table below, amounted to approximately 43 percent of the annual gross cost of operations, for each respective year. As shown in the table below, this includes actual payroll and benefit expenses as well as imputed federal employee benefit costs paid by OPM. The amount identified as
