Event Description
The current financial reporting model used by state and local governments is contained in GASB Statement No. 34, generally became effective in 2002 for most governments. This model did not substantially change the accounting and financial reporting for governmental funds, most notably the general fund. GASB has now added a project to its agenda to examine reporting for governmental funds and what information should be conveyed in external financial statements. An Invitation to Comment (ITC) was issued by GASB in December 2016 that considers three alternatives to reporting governmental funds. This webinar will focus on the three alternatives.
