Reinforce your understanding of key terms and concepts related to GASB Statement 65, its main changes, and the rationale behind its introduction.
While many government entities and public institutions have successfully adapted to the changes brought about by GASB Statement 65, some still find it challenging to assess new items to determine if they fall within its scope. Implemented over a decade ago, GASB Statement 65 reclassified certain items that were previously reported as assets and liabilities, significantly impacting financial reporting. This presentation serves as a refresher course, designed to reinforce attendees' understanding of key terms and concepts related to GASB Statement 65, its main changes, and the rationale behind its introduction. The live webinar will also focus on the practical implications of GASB Statement 65, particularly in assessing whether new items are within its scope. This workshop is crucial for those responsible for financial reporting in government entities and public institutions, ensuring they are well-equipped to accurately apply GASB Statement 65 to their financial reporting.
