BUDGET TRANSFERS

account no. 1000-6510-54107 (software) in the amount of $2,469. This transfer is  
needed because GASB 96 changed the accounting standard regarding ownership criteria  
where the County has a non-cancelable right to control in excess of one year and should  
be considered capital in nature when determining ownership. Since this invoice was  
already charged to account code 53807, a journal entry will be created moving the  
expense from account 53807 to 54107. (State's Attorney's Office-Children's Advocacy
