For Tribal Accounting and Financial Professionals

The GASAC is seeking feedback from members in prioritizing the GASB's Technical Plan.

Descriptions are provided for the ongoing pre-agenda research and other research activities, monitoring activities, potential standards-setting topics, and potential reexamination topics (Attachment A). It will be important for you to review this attachment to (1) identify the stage of each potential project, and (2) gain perspective on the objective of each potential project.

Potential standards-setting topics address issues for which the GASB’s accounting and financial reporting standards contain little to no guidance. Potential reexamination topics address existing pronouncements that have been in effect for at least five years
(Attachment B).

We would encourage you to:
  • Review the guidelines developed by GASAC members (Attachment C), which suggest points you may wish to consider as you prepare your prioritization rankings.
  • Share this material with your organization (if applicable) to solicit input not only for prioritization feedback, but also for identification of potential topics that are not included on this list.
  • Read the topic descriptions to help place them in perspective.

Survey responses are due on Wednesday, March 18th.
