Arkansas
| Arkansas owns more than it owes. |
| Arkansas has a $6,200 Taxpayer Surplus.™ |
| Arkansas is a Sunshine State with enough assets to cover its debt. |
| Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Surplus™, which is each taxpayer's share of money available after state bills have been paid. |
| TIA's Taxpayer Surplus™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt. |
| Arkansas has $14.3 billion of assets available to pay the state's bills totaling $8.9 billion. |
| Arkansas has $5.4 billion available after bills have been paid, which breaks down to $6,200 per taxpayer. |
| Arkansas's reported net position is overstated by $234.6 million, largely because the state delays recognizing losses incurred when the net pension liability increases. |
| The state's financial report was released 214 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered untimely according to the 180 day standard. |
