“Opportunities”
Gestring, SHEEO, 2003 4
GASB 34/35 Issuance of GASB 34 represents the
most significant change in governmental financial reporting in over a decade
GASB 35 brought those changes to colleges and universities.

be a fabulous resource They have been our leaders in
providing training and guidance

Governing Boards & Audit Committees
Increased responsibilities in publicly traded companies
Colleges and Universities can anticipate similar increased responsibilities
Gestring, SHEEO, 2003 7
Ultimate Oversight Governing Boards/Audit Committees have
ultimate oversight of the financial reporting. Management is responsible for any “abuses” Boards/Audit Committees responsible for
having a thorough understanding of the financial statements and related accounting policies.
Should be able to explain to stakeholders
Gestring, SHEEO, 2003 8
The Connection Governing Boards/Audit Committees have
read the old format financial statements for several years
Changes as a result of GASB 34/35 are complex and numerous
Need to provide our Boards/Audit Committees with enough information about GASB 34/35 to be able to read the financial statements effectively and ask the tough questions
Gestring, SHEEO, 2003 9
