GASB 103 & Beyond: Key Updates for Public Sector Entities
October 5, 2026The governmental accounting landscape is evolving, creating new reporting considerations for state and local governments. Join Forvis Mazars for an informative session on recently issued and effective GASB standards, with a focus on GASB Statement No. 103 (GASB 103). Learn about the important changes affecting financial statement presentation, management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), unusual or infrequent items, and budgetary comparison information.
We’ll also delve into other recent GASB developments, implementation considerations, and emerging topics that public sector entities need to be aware of. In addition, we’ll discuss strategies to help prepare for upcoming reporting requirements and maintain compliance with evolving governmental accounting standards. We’ll also share how The Reporting Solution (TRS) from Forvis Mazars can help streamline the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and financial reporting workflows by embedding new GASB pronouncements directly into the platform, so teams can adapt to changing requirements without building reports from scratch.
