  Deep Dish Discussions on Capitalization Thresholds

  Capitalization thresholds are a "tangible" application of materiality in government financial statements. Government have discretion on setting this threshold, and it's not a one-size-fits-all decision. Panelists will discuss various factors they considered when setting thresholds, how capitalization thresholds impact different major classes of capital assets, and how they educated their internal stakeholders and communicated with their governing body about their threshold.

  Why I'm a Finance Officer

  There is no single roadmap to becoming a finance officer. Across GFOA’s 30,000+ members, professionals arrive at public finance through a wide range of roles, disciplines, and experiences. What unites them is a shared responsibility to maintain public trust, support their communities, and help build resilient organizations in an environment shaped by workforce constraints, heightened scrutiny, and growing complexity in local government. In this session, experienced public finance professionals will share their career journeys and reflect on how their backgrounds have prepared them to navigate today’s challenges. Speakers will discuss the skills, experiences, and motivations that sustain their commitment to the profession, as well as how public finance leaders can continue to strengthen the field for the next generation.
