What is the difference between a component unit and a special purpose local government?

What will be an ideal response?


Special purpose local governments may be stand-alone local governments or may be component units of a general-purpose government. The GASB tests for component units are intended to determine whether to include a related entity in the financial report of a general-purpose government. The determination of the type of special purpose entity is necessary to identify what financial statements must be issued for a special purpose entity that for one reason or another is issuing its own (separate) financial report.
