New GASB Standards Effective for June 30, 2023 Year-Ends

By Randall Shepard, Timothy Doyle, Heidi Bresler, on February 6th, 2023

There are two new GASB standards which have the potential to impact financial reporting for local governments. Both standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2022, and all reporting periods thereafter – financial statements with June 30, 2023, year-ends will be first to implement.

GASB 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (SBITAs), describes financial reporting for a government with a contract to use another party’s information technology (IT) software. Click here for more details.

GASB 94, Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships (P3s) and Availability Payment Arrangements (APAs), describes financial reporting for a contract between a governmental and another entity to provide public services by conveying control of the right to operate or use a nonfinancial asset, such as infrastructure or other capital asset, for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.

Avoiding surprises is critical with all new accounting pronouncements. Given the potential number of contracts to analyze and the time and effort necessary to compile information, it is important to begin the process of evaluation of the impact early in the reporting cycle.
