BOP Program Statement 8510.02 § 13
REPORTS. The UNICOR accounting system is designed to enable
the prompt preparation of all needed financial reports. UNICOR
reports disclose significant financial facts about UNICOR
operations and activities clearly. They are prepared and issued
as often as necessary to be of maximum use to management
officials and to meet prescribed external requirements. Both
external and internal reports are prepared from the same source
data and should be in agreement.
External reports are designed to meet the requirements of control
agencies, including requirements for audited financial statements
consolidated at the Department level as required by the Chief
Financial Officers Act of 1990 (CFO). Internal reports are
designed to meet the needs of UNICOR’s management. The Reports
include:
— Balance Sheet - statements of assets and liabilities and
— Income and Expense - statements concerning the results of
operations at the Program level.

a. Type and Content of Reports. The following discussion
addresses the major categories of UNICOR accounting reports.
(1) Financial Position (Balance Sheet). The Central Office
prepares statements of assets and liabilities relating to
Business Areas (representing Program Areas) for their activities.
Such statements should disclose:
— the major categories of assets,
— the amount and nature of significant contingent
liabilities, and
— such explanatory information on the assets and
liabilities as is necessary to disclose the
reporting area’s financial position fully and
clearly.
(2) Results of Operation. Applicable costs incurred to
produce revenues from sales of materials or services is compared
or matched with the amount of such revenues to prepare financial
reports on revenue-producing operations.
— The difference between revenues and applicable
costs and expenses represents the financial
results of these operations as measured by the
increase or decrease in the net assets of each
factory or activity down to the factory level.
(3) Sources and Application of Funds. Annual corporate
statements of financial position and results of operations the
FMB prepares are accompanied by statements of sources and
application of funds. All significant items must be shown
separately, as either a source or application of funds.
(4) Treasury Reports. The FMB prepares reports and
information relating to financial condition and operations as
required by the Department of Treasury. UNICOR accounts relating
to cash and other financial transactions are maintained in such a
manner to facilitate the reports’ prompt and accurate
preparation.
(5) Other. Each UNICOR field location enters the financial
and costing data at the transaction level and maintains all
supporting documentation for the financial statements. UNICOR’s
automated system provides reports by which program management may
analyze production activity.
