Memorable Moments at the Standards Setting Board
Being key to realizing the NPR goals
Not being terminated by the NPR
Getting pension and OPEB liabilities right
Hearing budget experts recommend use of more accrual information
Getting “GAAP”
Being the first and only country presenting audited projections for SI and soon whole of government flows
Always having willing volunteers!
Seeing the talent!

Federal Reporting Entity – SFFAS 47 (effective FY2018) –
Include in General Purpose Federal Financial Reports (GPFFR) all organizations:
budgeted for,
controlled with potential for risk or reward, or
owned
Does not specifically address particular entities. ◦ Provides for judgment about:
Inclusion
Classification
Disclosure

Distinguish between consolidation entities
and disclosure organizations
Consolidation entities are: supported by general taxes and
on-going decision making is more clearly linked to elected officials.
Information for consolidation entities is to be consolidated in financial statements.

Disclosure organizations are: somewhat independent from elected officials, and
may be financially self-sustaining.
Information regarding such organizations is to be disclosed in notes with an emphasis on risk.

Improvement Needed in the Statement of Net Cost: ◦ Now - cost by strategic goal
◦ Some prefer to focus on “cost” by organizations,
programs, or projects
◦ Matching cost and output (and eventually outcome) is not so easy!
◦ Same terms used differently by different disciplines (cost per the budget versus cost per accrual principles versus cost per program evaluators)

Reporting Model – Research Results

Improvement Needed in Budgetary Information:
◦ Not understandable or useful to non-specialists
◦ Hard to relate to cost (and non-financial
performance)
◦ But important to: get right track resources So you can hold officials accountable.

Draft concepts will or may:
integrate some existing information (SFFAC 1 and SFFAS 4 Concepts)
discuss interoperability among GAAP based and transparency information
Identify key differences between the government as a whole and components
discuss ways to relate and disaggregate information

RISK ASSUMED
Current Standards are limited to insurance contracts and explicit guarantees (other than loan guarantees).
Implementation is: ◦ varied across government.
◦ not sufficiently understandable.
Ideally, the project will lead to relevant risk assumed information across government.

RISK ASSUMED (cont.) - Three Phases - Phase I: Insurance and [Non-Loan] Guarantees
Phase II: Entitlement Programs, including: National Defense, Security and Disaster response Other potential effects on future outflows:
◦ regulatory actions, ◦ Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), etc.
Phase III: Commitments Obligations Other risk areas

RISK ASSUMED (cont.)
- Insurance & Guarantee Phase - Define federal Insurance and [Non-Loan] Guarantee programs
Improve terminology
Address measurement uncertainty regarding estimated losses on open contracts ◦ Potentially use expected value
◦ Improve disclosures
Disclose risk assumed ◦ Narrative including risk factors
◦ Coverage in force (maximum loss)

FASAB is partnering with GASB to develop standards for governmental organizations.
Tentative decision to establish a single model (with exceptions for short-term arrangements).
◦ Leases create assets consisting of the “right to use” a resource.
◦ Leases create liabilities consisting of the obligation to pay for the resource.
The focus may be on the interest cost associated with leases.
Intragovernmental exceptions

Public-Private Partnerships
Due to budget pressures, federal agencies have increasingly turned to public-private partnerships (e.g., PPPs, P3s) to accomplish goals Transparency of the full costs and risks of such
partnerships is the overall objective Specific objectives include:
◦ Defining terms (e.g., service concession arrangements, P3s) ◦ Providing guidance for the recognition and measurement of: ◦ assets and liabilities ◦ revenues and expenses ◦ risks ◦ Consider implications for other arrangements related to P3s (sale-
leaseback or other long-term arrangements).
