Best Answer

The Federal Reserve System in the US was faced with high costs and risks associated with safekeeping and transferring bearer Treasury securities. The task had become huge and the Federal Reserve sought a more efficient method to manage these tasks. In 1966 the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve began to convert Treasury securities to "book -entry" or "nonphysical form". The conversion was also driven by the interest of the Reserve Banks and Treasury in lowering their operating costs and risks. Also, by the desire to preserve market liquidity and the goal to prune member bank operating costs.

These goals were successful.

What is the accounting entry for booking homeowners association restricted reserves?

Read your governing documents to determine how 'restricted reserves' are treated as accounts. Often, and state laws can dictate -- that 'restricted reserves' are mandated to be kept in separate accounts, in a bank, for example. Whether these are 'maintenance reserves' , 'capital reserves' or 'insurance deductible reserves', your chart of accounts should differentiate (each of) them from the association's operating account.
