The City of Corona (joining the City of Tracy) has restated their 1998-99 financial statements using the GASB 34 reporting model. And it's now available on-line from the CSMFO's web site in our "Resource Room." It is especially notable that Corona has restated their ENTIRE CAFR - so in addition to financial statements, there are full Notes AND the new MD&A. So, if you want to see a full CAFR under GASB 34 (for a real California city), check it out.. The direct link to this page is: www.csmfo.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=resourcedetail&PageID=862 (Long link or what!) As a reminder, we have a lot of other cool GASB 34 assistance stuff on the CSMFO web site in the "Resource Room" under "GASB Statement 34,'' including: o Suggested approaches for explaining GASB 34 to elected officials (and other senior managers like City Managers and Public Works Directors). o Very short (3 page) summary of GASB 34 for elected officials (and other senior managers). o PowerPoint presentation on GASB 34 for elected officials (and other senior managers). o Sample Council agenda report (courtesy of Lake Forest) explaining GASB 34. o "Speakers Bureau" that lists finance professionals who have volunteered to present information about GASB 34 at training opportunities like CSMFO Chapter meetings, department head meetings, Council study sessions or other opportunities to tell our "GASB 34" story. [Note: if you'd like to volunteer to be on the Speakers Bureau list, just send me an email.] The direct link to the "GASB 34" resource page is: www.csmfo.org/index.cfm?FuseAction=ResourceList&Scope=26 [Another long one.] We have also created a new category in our Professional Services Directory (www.csmfo.org/psd) of firms specializing in GASB 34. While there are several firms there now, this will grow over time as more firms become aware of this opportunity, so check it out from time to time. Hope this helpful. - Bill Bill Statler, Director of Finance City of San Luis Obispo 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Phone: (805) 781-7125 Fax: (805) 781-7401 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
