In the last several years, GASB has issued a number of accounting statements that have significantly changed the way government entities report and disclose financial information. This year, certain GASB statements will change how government finance executives do their accounting and financial reporting. Of primary concern will be the continuous redefining of GAAP for state and local governments, as well as other issues resulting to GASB's latest pronouncements. Their experts will attempt to explain what’s going on now and take a look ahead to additional accounting changes that may soon affect the public sector.
