GASB No. 39: The Challenges of Integrating 
New Component Units

NASACT, in conjunction with the Association of Government Accountants, the National Association of Local Government Auditors, and the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO), is pleased to announce the latest in its series of audio conferences addressing timely issues in government financial management.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

The topic for this audio conference, GASB No. 39, is a very interesting and timely topic. This standard, titled Determining Whether Certain Organizations Are Component Units, amends GASB No. 14 to provide additional guidance to determine whether certain organizations for which the primary government is not financially accountable should be reported as component units based on the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government. This statement is effective in FY 2004 for most entities and has a significant impact on the financial reporting of many public colleges and universities and their component units such as fund-raising foundations, athletic associations, alumni associations, and research foundations. The new standard has also created some interesting financial reporting issues for states as they prepare their comprehensive annual financial reports.

To address these issues, our group of speakers will provide a review of the technical aspects of GASB No. 39 as well as the practical aspects of its implementation both from the college and university perspective as well as the state government perspective. 
Please join us for two hours of lively discussion about this timely topic. In addition to presentations from our speakers, there will be approximately 30 minutes for Q&A so that participants may ask questions and share their own experiences.

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN: 

*	An appreciation for the challenges state governments are facing concerning affiliated organizations 

*	An understanding of state reporting expectations 

*	Tools to help you walk through decision points in the GASB 39 standard

PROGRAM SPEAKERS:

*	David Bean, GASB Director of Research 

*	Ken Schermann, GASB Senior Project Manager 

*	Kathleen McNeely, Managing Director of the Finance Division of Financial Management Services at Indiana University 

*	Jan Correll, Supervisor for University and College Audits, Indiana State Board of Accounts 

*	Stacey Halvorsen (invited), Indiana State Board of Accounts
