by GASB Statement No. 30, “Risk Financing Omnibus”, which requires that a liability for unpaid
claims costs, including estimates of costs relating to incurred but not reported claims, be accrued at the
estimated ultimate cost of settling the claims. The estimate was not affected by incremental claim
adjustment expenses and does not include other allocated or unallocated claim adjustment expenses.
