[Dean Mead]

Dear Colleagues,

 

In line with our mission to guide and educate the public regarding
governmental accounting and financial reporting standards, the GASB
provides a number of resources to assist the academic community with
teaching and research, including:

 

*        Research grants-a call for proposals
<http://www.gasb.org/Request_for_Research_fall2006.pdf>  is currently
available on the GASB Web site

*        Annual bound volumes-the original text of GASB pronouncements,
the codification of the standards, and the comprehensive implementation
guide

*        GARS, the electronic searchable version of the annual bound
volumes

*        User guides-inexpensive plain-language books about governmental
financial statements

*        The GASB Web site-plain-language articles and fact sheets about
GASB standards and proposals, outstanding due process documents, current
information about GASB projects, and much more are available free from 
www.gasb.org <http://www.gasb.org/> 

*        The User's Perspective-a free electronic newsletter written for
financial statement users.

 

These resources and others are described more fully in a two-page
brochure <http://www.gasb.org/users/academic_resources_handout_2006.pdf>
that is now available on the GASB Web site.

 

If you have any questions about how the GASB can help you with your
research and teaching, please contact me (dmmead at gasb.org) or Terry
