    1. The net assets are measured on the accrual basis and economic resources measurement focus.

  2. The SNA includes both the Governmental and Business activities funds of the government, but not the fiduciary funds, because they do not belong to the government. It includes the capital assets and LT debt that the government has, which are not reported under modified accrual.

  3. SNA is the first statement in CAFR; followed the MD&A. It represents the asset, liability and net asset balances.
