CSMFO Webinar
GASB Statement 103 – Financial Reporting Model Improvements
a CSMFO webinar
10:00-11:30 a.m., Thursday, March 13, 2025
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water – the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements. How did this happen? And what does it do? The objective of this Statement is to improve key components of the financial reporting model to enhance its effectiveness in providing information that is essential for decision making and assessing a government’s accountability. This Statement also addresses certain application issues.
Join us for an opportunity to hear from two of the Task Force members who worked with GASB on this undertaking, which was begun in 2015. Learn about the role of GASB task forces in the standards setting process, and hear the backstory of how we got here. Then, we’ll turn our attention to what this financial reporting model update will do with respect to our ACFRs. Get clarity about who needs to comply with its requirements and by when, and identify the key areas that will see the most significant changes.
The effective date for this pronouncement is for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2025, with earlier application encouraged. This is a not-to-be missed webinar!
Advance registration is required for this no-cost webinar.
