An Introduction to GASB 87 Lease Accounting
Our latest webinar includes a comparison between GASB 87 and the standards that previously governed lease accounting for state and local governments. The webinar also covers an example of how to implement the new lease guidance from the perspective of both a lessee and lessor, as well as asset types and contracts that may be scoped out of the new standard requirements. Lastly, disclosure requirements under the legacy and GASB 87 guidance will be compared for both lessees and lessors.
