Abstract

Since 1984, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has worked to improve accounting and financial reporting standards for state and local governments. The board is a private, nonprofit organization consisting of seven board members and a full-time staff. Like the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that sets accounting standards for private companies, GASB is funded by the Financial Accounting Foundation, a nonprofit entity that exercises general oversight over the financial reporting of public entities. In June 1999, GASB approved Statement No. 34: Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments (GASB 34).
