Lease accounting is anything but simple. Are you in the loop on GASB Statement 87? Press play for quick insights on lease categories, financial statement impacts, performance-based leases for casinos, and more.
We’re sure you’ve heard about GASB 87 here and there—fiscal year 2022 is going to be a big year. Now is the time for Tribal governments and enterprises to inventory, implement, and record. In our quick summary of the new GASB, we’ll get you up to speed on considerations for reviewing contracts and what leases may or may not be included.
If you’re a tribal government entity using subscription-based software, your financial statements will soon be held to a whole new accounting standard: GASB 96 – Subscription-Based IT Arrangements (SBITAs), which was issued in May 2020 by the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Are you on track for implementing GASB 96 and meeting compliance rules? Do you know what you need to do, and by when? Schedule a 20min free consultation with Wes Benally and access helpful resources.
