Welcome to Episode 2 of Bridging the GAAP, a podcast brought to you by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.

My name is Eileen Foley, Senior Manager of Digital Operations, usually working behind the scenes to add a little bit of excitement to your world of financial reporting. However, during this recording, I was fortunate enough to have GASB Chair Joel Black with me as I introduced our topic and special guest.

On today's show, Matt will be talking to Deborah Beams, the GASB Supervising Project Manager. As Joel explains, Deborah is going to walk us through GASB's Proposed Guidance on Disclosure and Classification of Certain Capital Assets and precisely what that means for preparers and users of governmental financial statements.

In addition to helping our stakeholders understand this project, we hope you will also be inspired to send us feedback on the proposal by using our electronic feedback form at www.gasb.org

So, let's welcome Deborah to Episode 2 of Bridging the GAAP by listening in now...
