In the second episode of Cherry Bekaert’s three-part GASB 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements podcast series, we discuss the changes to classification and presentation of proprietary funds. Co-hosts, Danny Martinez, CFO Advisory Partner, and Scott Anderson, Audit Partner, are joined by Alyssa Rousseau, CFO Advisory Senior Manager, to provide insight into what the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) aimed to achieve with these changes. They also highlight the key challenges and surprises governments have encountered around classification, subsidies, and financial statement presentation.
