Association of Government Accountants, the National

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

DESCRIPTION:</FONT></STRONG></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>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.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>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. <BR>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.</FONT></P>
