GASB has issued an exposure draft, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. It is an amendment of GASB Statement No. 62 and updates an area of accounting that hasn’t seen much change. The original guidance came from FASB standards that dates to the 1970s. The GASB reviews the guidance through the lens of a governmental entity and provides definitions as well as accounting guidance on accounting changes and error corrections. Comments are due Aug. 31.
Call to Action: What impact would these proposed changes have on governmental entities?
