CWIP Theory & Accounting
• CWIP is a financial holding account:
– Of resources applied to a construction project.
– Allows them to be recognized as an asset without triggering depreciation.
– A generally accepted accounting principle required of all Federal Agencies
– Reflects the fair market value at point “X” in the CWIP gestation timeline.
– Reported on NOAA’s and DOC’s Quarterly and Year End Financial Statements.

CWIP Theory & Accounting• Costs:
– The classification assigned to the resources that will be included in the final value of the depreciable item constructed.
– Represents the resources that meet the criteria of an asset (to be reported on the Balance Sheet.)
– Are identified only with goods received or delivered, and or services performed.
• If you haven’t got it… it’s not a cost.
– Received or Delivered Trumps:» Ordered» Payable» Committed» In transit/enroute/partial performance, and» Paid

• Expenses:
– All other CWIP Resources used that won’t be part of the final depreciable value.
– Reported on NOAA’s Income Statement

CWIP Theory & Accounting
• Whether you know it or not:– every classification of each cwip resource,
as either an asset or an expense, helps build NOAA’s Balance Sheet & Income Statement.
• Which goes where?– depends on the project codes you assign
to that resource.

CWIP Theory & Accounting
• CWIP tracking:
– Is NOT a Budget Execution Exercise.
– Delegates CWIP activity managers to sort the resources to be recorded as:
• Assets (on the balance sheet) • Expenses (on the income statement)
– Accomplished through dedicated project codes, namely:
• Income Statement project codes• Balance Sheet project codes

• Conclusion:
– CWIP activity manager financial reporting
• Is NOT a recap of Budget Execution responsibilities.

CWIP Theory & Accounting
• KPMG, NOAA’s Contract Independent Auditors, Audit CWIP:
– Not from a Budget Execution Standpoint
– Instead, from a Financial Statement creation perspective.
• Their prime objective:– Are you assigning the right CWIP project codes.
» To all CWIP resources going into your construction activity?» Asset project codes for items to be depreciated.» Expense project codes for every thing else.» Exclusion of Undelivered Orders

CWIP Theory & Accounting
• What’s Driving This Preoccupation
– Materiality Concerns• CWIP is:
– 50% of NOAA’s Total PP&E– The lynch pin in assessing the complete & reliability of NOAA’s
Balance Sheet
• NOAA’s Financial Statements fail annual audit:» If CWIP Balances are not fairly stated as assets that reflect
goods and services received or delivered
• DOC’s Financial Statements fail their audit:– NOAA comprises over 50% of DOC’s assets.
• As of 2006 NOAA has $3 billion in CWIP assets.
