Cevap

Proceeds from domestic and international loans raised specifically for capital projects
The Capital Development Fund (CDF) is maintained exclusively for capital project expenditure. Its direct receipts include proceeds from loans raised for capital works, capital grants, and statutory appropriations transferred from the Consolidated Revenue Fund. Therefore, proceeds from domestic and international loans raised specifically for capital projects are credited directly to the Capital Development Fund.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary purpose of the Capital Development Fund (CDF).
The Capital Development Fund is established to record and finance government capital expenditure, such as infrastructure development and acquisition of non-current assets.
Public sector accounting separates operational (recurrent) activities from capital investment activities.
2
Distinguish between sources of revenue for the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) and the Capital Development Fund (CDF).
The Consolidated Revenue Fund receives all general recurrent revenues including taxes, statutory allocations, fees, and fines. In contrast, the Capital Development Fund receives capital receipts such as loan proceeds specifically raised for capital projects, capital grants, and contributions/transfers from the CRF surplus.
Section 80 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria and the Finance (Control and Management) Act govern statutory fund allocations.
