Which transactions can IAR report?

• A. Sales, refunds, exchanges, and adjustment transactions
• B. Sales only
• C. Refunds only
• D. Exchanges only

Answer: (A)

IAR reporting is designed to capture every revenue-affecting event tied to ARC transactions. That means it needs to include not just new ticket sales, but also any changes that modify revenue: refunds that reverse previously earned revenue, exchanges that involve reissuing a ticket or adjusting the fare, and adjustments that correct errors or apply post-settlement changes. Since each of these events changes the money due to ARC or the agency’s settlement balance, reporting all of them keeps the financial records accurate and in line with the settlements. So, the best approach is to include sales, refunds, exchanges, and adjustments.
