This topic will explain the overall financial reporting model used by governments under GASB 34 and help you understand the types of information that can be gleaned from the financial statements and what that information means. The topic will also discuss some very important accounting areas (such as pensions) and how those accounting areas are reflected in governmental financial statements.
