Frisco has adopted the following budgetary and accounting policies:

Encumbrance accounting is used only for the acquisition of supplies and for the award of contracts for construction and construction-related activities.Open encumbrances lapse at the end of the year, but are considered in developing the next year's budget.

Because final income tax returns are not required to be filed until April 15 of the year following the end of a calendar year, "available" for income taxes is defined as taxes expected to be collected within 120 days after the end of the calendar year.

Frisco allows its employees to accumulate unused vacation days and to receive cash for up to 30 days of unused vacation leave at retirement.Such payments are charged to the department's appropriation for salaries.

All revenues received by the library from fines, donations, and fundraising events are credited to Revenues-Miscellaneous.
