[ABFM] GASB Resources for Academic Research and Teaching

[Dean Mead]

Dear Colleagues, 

 

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board offers a variety of
resources useful for teaching and conducting research about governmental
accounting and financial reporting, including:

 

*        Annual grants to support academic research that is relevant to
projects in the GASB's technical plan and past GASB pronouncements

*        A free electronic newsletter, available on line and by email,
prepared especially for financial statement users, including academics

*        Volumes that bring together all GASB pronouncements, codified
by topic or in their original versions, in both print and electronic
searchable formats

*        Up-to-date information about current standards-setting projects
on the GASB website

*        Short, plain-language articles about all new proposed and final
pronouncements, available to download free

*        The User Guide Series, plain-language books about the
information in governmental financial reports and how to use it-a
perfect, inexpensive complement to accounting textbooks

*        And much, much more.
