Talk ACFR To Me

Communicating financial information with both internal and external audiences can be a challenging task for staff preparing an Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). While incredibly detailed, the ACFR format is not always user-friendly for non-accountants.

This session will explore how the ACFR can be used to tell your government’s story. Speakers will provide an overview of the ACFR, focusing on the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), government-wide statements, governmental and proprietary fund financial statements, and the statistical section.

Attend this session to better understand the current ACFR structure, how it has evolved, its limitations, and how governments can improve both their ACFR and other financial disclosures, such as the Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) and web-based dashboards. Speakers will also discuss the MD&A content requirements under GASB Statement No. 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements.
