Newly released GAAFR Supplement (electronic and softcover formats)
Members $60 - Nonmembers $95
Stephen J. Gauthier, Director of GFOA’s Technical Services Center and author of Governmental Accounting,
Auditing, and Financial Reporting (GAAFR or “Blue Book”) and numerous other GFOA publications is the
author of GFOA’s new GAAFR Supplement. There have been several developments affecting accounting,
auditing, and financial reporting for state and local governments since the release of the GAAFR in 2012.
First, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has released four new standards. Second, the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission has issued a significantly
expanded version of its classic Internal Control • Integrated Framework. The supplemental link contains
the following new material to address those developments:
- A supplement to Chapter 22, Detailed Note Disclosures, which accounts for changes in note disclosure
requirements resulting from the issuance of the three new GASB standards;
- A new version of Chapter 23, Pension Benefits, Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB), and
Termination Benefits, rewritten to reflect the new guidance on employer accounting for pensions
in GASB Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions;
- A supplement to Chapter 30, Other Specialized Applications, which incorporates the provisions of
GASB Statement No. 69, Government Combinations and Disposals of Government Operations, and
GASB Statement No. 70, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Financial Guarantees;
- A supplement to Chapter 32, Other Required Supplementary Information (RSI), which addresses
employer RSI for pensions consistent with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 68;
- A new version of Chapter 36, Postemployment Benefit Plans, rewritten to reflect the new guidance for
pension plans in GASB Statement No. 67, Financial Reporting for Pension Plans; and
- A new version of Chapter 42, The Comprehensive Framework of Internal Control, rewritten consistent
with the new and expanded COSO framework.
