Advanced Specialty Topic – Lease Reporting
A CSMFO Core Course
9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m., Tuesday, April 8, 2025
In response to feedback from CSMFO core accounting and financial reporting courses, we are pleased to offer a new series of two-hour sessions on advanced specialty topics. The second one in this series will be on lease accounting and reporting.
With the advent of the new rules embodied in GASB Statement No. 87, Leases, agencies are faced with new accounting and reporting complexities. This Lease Reporting Specialty class will review lease reporting both as a lessee and as a lessor. There will be examples for an interactive overview of reporting and recording lease activity in a government agency. This session will provide a comprehensive understanding of lease accounting, compliance requirements, and disclosure guidelines. Participants will walk-through the accounting entries, as well as disclosure information needed to report whether using a third-party software system or an internal tracking system.
This class is limited to 25 participants to allow for in-depth discussion between the instructor and attendees. Advance registration is required for this class.
Course Objectives:
- Understand the accounting and financial reporting related to leases;
- See examples of how you might implement these concepts at your agency; and
- Hear about resources that can help you learn more.
