Genuine Learning Blog: Evaluating GAAP Choice

In this week’s blog, we explore the newly released GAAP Utilization Report from the GASB.

State and local governments often have flexibility in choosing a financial reporting framework, but what drives that decision? This report offers valuable insights into the factors that influence whether governments adopt GAAP or rely on alternative frameworks.

The research highlights key trends across states, counties, municipalities, and special districts, including which states require GAAP and what conditions increase the likelihood of GAAP adoption.

SCACPA is excited to partner with Galasso Learning Solutions and the Genuine Learning Blog for real-time A&A updates and answers for SCACPA members.
