Hello CAFR Contacts,

The GASB is hosting a free webinar on the invitation to comment regarding proposed revenue and expense recognition models.  This is a significant topic that would have some wide-ranging impacts on governmental accounting, so I encourage all those that can watch the webinar to do so.  As noted below, the webinar is on Wednesday, March 14, from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm PST, and an archived version will be available on the GASB website soon thereafter. CPE of 1 hour is available for the live stream only.
