This is a very short article based on a large subject. It doesn't even list the different funds used in fund accounting, let alone their uses. It does not specifically discuss that Fund Accounting usually relies on cash-based accounting system, which presents several reconciliation and reporting problems when presenting financial statements.
Governmental Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GGAAP) should be moved to a new article, since fund accounting does not exclusively apply to governmental entities. Mtmelendez 15:08, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
It would be nice to see examples of a general fund with a budget, the entries to post it to a ledger (by using an actual form), examples of opening entries, an example of daily entries and then closing entries, followed by the fund balance being transferred to the next year. To see it actually laid out like that would be very helpful. Unfortunately, I do not have the expertise to do it myself. MHuntington 07:21, 28 September 2006
After adding text about Federal Government funds and a section of general fund entries for a fictitious city government, I removed the Expand tag. I've kept it very simple, and chose not to mention encumbrances. If you think the article needs more of something somewhere, please mention what you'd like to see.

Previously, I added a link to my free accounting math book; however, that was in violation of the conflict of interest policy. So now I am proposing that someone else add the external link to the book. It has a section that mathemacically describes Fund Accounting, which is appropriate for this article. The URL to the book is * Fund Accounting Mathematically Described. Timhowardriley 17:08, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
This section discusses a minor detail of Fund Accounting. Should it be a part of this article? Is it appropriate to include information at this level of detail? Folklore1 ( talk) 13:08, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
I removed this section from the article. If you feel something about "recording methods" should be included, please provide references and avoid statements endorsing software brand names. Folklore1 ( talk) 17:57, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Right, lets get cracking.
Clear, yes.
Concise, yes.
Spelling, yes.
MOS: Lead section, yes. Layout, correct. Words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation, yes.
Refs - section Overview has no citations.; section Opening Entries has no citations. ; sectins Other Expenditures and Closing Entries have no citations.
The references that are there are reliable though.
No original research.
Broad in its coverage.
Neutral and stable, yes - no edit wars.
However there isn't a single image on the whole page. But the criteria says if possible so .
Now, there are nine s and four s, so the majority speaks for itself. Get the s cleaned up and there will be a good article. Please reply to the discussion below. RCSprinter123 ( talk) 16:04, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Should we subject this article to peer review? Lbertolotti ( talk) 15:16, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
This article only refers to fund accounting in the U.S. It should be expanded to include other accounting guidelines, especially the international ones, used by many countries around the world. Carsya ( talk) 21:15, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
