　　Encumbrances. Open purchases orders represent an encumbrance or reduction of the appropriations of a government.In order for governmental managers to effectively monitor the degree to which they have used their budgetary appropriations，governmental accounting systems reflect not only the expenditures but also the obligations to spend （purchase orders）。This is done to prevent overspending of appropriations.

　　Budgetary accounts are “estimated accounts，”which are the opposite （in terms of “natural” debit and credit balances）from “real，”“proprietary，”or “actual” accounts.

　　Budgetary accounts are posted only twice during the year（unless a supplemental appropriation is made）
