The Honorable, The Legislature:
This report presents statements of fund condition and operations (budgetary basis) of the State of Wisconsin for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. This satisfies the requirements of sec. 16.40(3), Wisconsin Statutes. Displayed are major sources of revenues and major categories of expenditures for the General Fund and other funds compared to the prior year.
The General Fund has an undesignated balance of $85.6 million as of the end of the fiscal year. This is $680 thousand lower than the balance of $86.2 million projected in the estimate for the January 31, 2011 Legislative Fiscal Bureau revenue estimates, as modified by
2011 Acts 10,
13 and
27. General-purpose revenue taxes were $12.912 billion compared to $12.132 billion in the prior year, an increase of $780 million or 6.4 percent. Collections increased in fiscal year 2010-11 with individual income and sales tax collections 10.0% and 4.2% more, respectively, than the prior year.
General-purpose revenue expenditures, excluding fund transfers, were $13.565 billion compared to $12.824 billion in the prior year, an increase of $741 million or 5.8 percent.
In fiscal year 2011, the State of Wisconsin continued to devote the major share of state tax collections to assistance to local school districts, municipalities and counties. Local assistance accounted for 56.7 percent of total general purpose revenue spending. Aid payments to individuals and organizations represented 19.4 percent of total general purpose revenue expenditures. The University of Wisconsin accounted for 7.9 percent of total general purpose revenue spending and state operations spending for all other state agencies accounted for 16.0 percent of the total.
The State of Wisconsin expects to publish its comprehensive annual financial report in December of 2011. The report will be prepared under generally accepted accounting principles.
Sincerely,
michael huebsch
