7. What’s next for government accounting standards?


GASB EXPLAINED

GASB, which stands for Governmental Accounting Standards Board, is the group
that sets the accounting and financial standards for state and local government
entities in the United States. Established in 1984, the members of GASB are
appointed by the trustees of the Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF). Like the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), GASB is an independent,
nongovernmental organization.


WHAT TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS REPORT UNDER GASB?

Local and state government entities following US GAAP report under GASB. That
includes municipalities, public employee retirement systems, and utilities.
Public benefit corporations – a type of for-profit entity that includes specific
public benefits in its statement of purpose – also report under GASB. GASB
applies to government-operated hospitals and healthcare providers as well.


GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

State and local governments are not the only governmental entities that need to
record and manage their financial transactions to provide transparency and
accountability to the public. Government accounting standards apply to federal
entities as well as state and local entities. Federal agencies report under the
Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board, or FASAB, the body that regulates
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for the federal government,
while GASB provides accounting guidance for local and state government agencies.
A full list of GASB statements is included later in this article.


NEW GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS YOU SHOULD KNOW

In the last few years, GASB has released several new statements to clarify
ambiguous guidance and accommodate the evolving nature of government operations.
Here’s an overview of three of the most talked-about new standards:

 * GASB 87, addressing leases
 * GASB 94, accounting and disclosure guidance for public-private and
   public-public partnership arrangements
 * GASB 96, covering the accounting treatment for Subscription-Based Information
   Technology Arrangements (SBITA)


GASB 87: LEASE ACCOUNTING

On the heels of new accounting standards for private and non-profit lease
accounting, GASB released Statement No. 87, Leases. It supersedes the guidance
provided by GASB 62 and GASB 13. The standard was initially set to go into
effect for all reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. However, the
effective date was delayed due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, and it’s now
scheduled for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2021. Despite the timeline
shift, organizations still must restate all prior periods presented if
practicable and it is advised to not delay the transition to the new standard.



GASB 87 departs from GASB 62 in several significant ways. For starters, leases
are no longer classified as either capital or operating. Instead, all leases are
classified as finance leases. Additionally, an exception for short-term leases
now exists. Leases with a maximum possible term of 12 months or less are not
required to be reported under the new standard. Under GASB 62, short-term leases
were not specifically excluded.

GASB 87 lessor accounting also mirrors lessee accounting. Lessors are now
required to record a lease receivable and deferred inflow of resources on the
balance sheet and recognize the income over the term of the lease.

GASB VS. FASB LEASE ACCOUNTING

As mentioned, GASB 87 was released shortly after the FASB released ASC 842,
Leases, for corporations and non-profit organizations reporting under US GAAP.
Despite the similarity in timing, however, the GASB guidance doesn’t completely
mirror that of the FASB. In fact, quite a few notable differences can be found.

First, the definition of a lease is different. Under GASB 87, an “exchange or
exchange-like transaction” is required to determine if a contract contains a
lease, whereas ASC 842 language states an “exchange for consideration” must
occur. A contract qualifying as a lease under ASC 842 may not qualify under
GASB.

Another key difference is in the assessment of control. Under ASC 842,
substitution rights can impact the determination of control. If a lessor has the
right to substitute an asset and benefits economically from the substitution,
then they have a substantive substitution right and the agreement does not
constitute a lease. Under GASB 87, such substitution rights have no impact on
the determination of control.

GASB 94: ACCOUNTING FOR PUBLIC-PRIVATE AND PUBLIC-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP
ARRANGEMENTS

GASB 94 establishes new accounting and disclosure guidance for public-private
and public-public partnership arrangements (referred to as PPP or P3). This new
standard supersedes GASB Statement 60 and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2022, the same as GASB 96. A government (the
transferor) contracts a third party (the operator) to provide public services by
conveying control of the right to operate/use a nonfinancial asset for a period
of time.

GASB 94 VS. GASB 87

Some of the accounting rules under GASB 94 and GASB 87 are almost identical
including discount rates, measurement of contract length, analysis of
modifications/terminations. Underlying accounting mechanics are similar for the
initial and subsequent measurement of liability and right-of-use assets. The
primary difference between GASB 94 and GASB 87 is that P3 arrangements can
include the construction/purchase of a new asset that must be accounted for by
both the transferor and the operator.


GASB 96: ACCOUNTING FOR SUBSCRIPTION-BASED IT ARRANGEMENTS

GASB Statement No. 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements
(GASB 96), addresses the accounting for software subscription services. As
cloud-based software usage becomes more popular, accounting professionals need
more prescriptive guidance on how to assess subscription-based IT arrangements
(SBITA) and how to present them on their financial statements.

Under GASB 96, the determination of a SBITA depends heavily on the assessment of
control – whether the government is granted rights to the present service
capacity of the underlying IT assets and to dictate the nature and manner of use
of the underlying IT assets. Exemptions include:

 * Contracts meeting the definition of a lease under GASB 87
 * Contracts falling under the scope of GASB Statement No. 51, Accounting and
   Financial Reporting for Intangible Assets (GASB 51)



One of the key topic areas covered by GASB 51 is the development of computer
software. However, its focus is on internally developed software paid for
through perpetual licensing agreements, which are structured differently from
SBITAs and require a different set of financial obligations.

Scheduled to be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2022, GASB
96 requires organizations to recognize a subscription liability and a
subscription asset at the commencement of the subscription term of the SBITA.
The subscription term begins when the government entity obtains control of the
right to use the underlying IT asset.

OTHER COMMON GASB STATEMENTS

Over the last three and a half decades, GASB has released several landmark
statements widely impacting government accounting. Below, we’ve summarized some
of the most well-known and frequently-searched governmental accounting
standards.


GASB 34

When GASB Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements—and Management’s
Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments (GASB 34), was released,
it was considered the most sweeping innovation in governmental accounting and
financial reporting. It expanded on the existing guidance to make financial
statements more useful for a wider range of users. One of its most notable
changes was the introduction of a required management’s discussion and analysis
(MD&A) section. MD&A allows stakeholders to better assess whether an agency’s
financial position has improved or declined in the reporting year.

GASB 34 also requires annual reports to use accrual accounting to report all
government spending. When it was issued in 1999, it was the first time
government entities were required to report long-term assets and liabilities, as
well as all revenues and all costs related to providing services each year.


GASB 62

GASB Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting
Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements (GASB
62), provides broad guidance that simplifies and brings consistency to
accounting research and application. Issued in late 2010, the scope of GASB 62
includes more than 30 reporting areas, such as leases, contingencies, the
capitalization of interest costs, and more.

GASB 62 superseded GASB Statement No. 20, which allowed for enterprise funds and
business-type activities to apply FASB Statements and Interpretations issued
after November 30, 1989, as long as they aren’t in conflict with previous GASB
pronouncements. This approach created inconsistency in interpretation and
unnecessarily complicated research. GASB 62 provides authoritative guidance on
many of the topics covered in Statement No. 20 while also making accommodations
for the specific needs of government financial reporting.

Some of GASB 62’s significant requirements for leases include:

 * Two classifications, capital and operating leases
 * A single treatment for all short-term leases

For lessors, operating leases could only be recorded as recognition of income
when payments came due. Those rules are now superseded by GASB 87, which we’ll
cover more in-depth later.


GASB 75

GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment
Benefits Other Than Pensions (GASB 75), went into effect for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2017. This statement focuses on healthcare, life
insurance, and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) plans. New guidance under
GASB 75 updates the analysis and disclosures required by OPEB plan actuaries.
Additional requirements affecting government entities themselves are also
included. Among them are:

 * Valuations to be completed every two years for all benefit plans
 * Reporting the unfunded OPEB liability on the statement of net position
 * Disclosing deferred inflows/outflows as a result of changing past actuarial
   assumptions

Prior to the issuance of GASB 75, governments with single-employer or agent
multiple-employer OPEB plans were only required to disclose their net OPEB
liability in the notes to their financial statements. Governments with
cost-sharing, multiple-employer OPEB plans, and special-funding plan types
weren’t required to disclose their net OPEB liability at all.


GASB 84

GASB Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities (GASB 84), refines the definition of
fiduciary funds and outlines their treatment in financial statements. The goals
of GASB 84 are:

 * Properly identify fiduciary activities
 * Consistently determine the type of fund used to report on each activity
 * Appropriately present fiduciary activities in financial statements

It went into effect for reporting periods starting after December 15, 2019, and
clarified ambiguities in the previous guidance. Prior to the issuance of GASB
84, no guidance for differentiating fiduciary activities existed, including
fiduciary component units, leading to inconsistent interpretation and
application.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS?

Looking ahead, the GASB will continue to release guidance reflecting the
changing needs of financial statement users and the evolving nature of
governmental financial transactions. The board’s current agenda lists a number
of updates that may significantly impact government accounting, such as the
reexamination of GASB 34. Government entities can expect accounting requirements
to grow more complex, making technical research skills, GASB accounting
software, and strategic thinking more vital than ever.
