Help GFOA Rethink Materiality

Help GFOA Rethink Materiality

As part of GFOA’s Rethinking Financial Reporting work, we are developing a new model to help governments scientifically determine appropriate capitalization thresholds. This could allow governments to stop tracking hundreds of assets for accounting purposes while barely changing the total reported value. We need more real-world data to ensure this tool works for everyone.

Donate your data to the cause. We are looking for volunteer governments to share a simple data set:

  • Acquisition Date
  • Acquisition Cost
  • Useful Life

Bonus: If you have Asset Category or Parent/Child data, we’ll take that too!
