factors (e.g., covenants, expectations, or industry factors)

It’s Used To Identify:

  • Significant risk areas
  • Nature, timing, extent, and scope of test work

How we gather information to identify fraud-related risks of material misstatement:

  • Brainstorm with team
  • Conduct personnel interviews
  • Document understanding of internal control
  • Consider unusual or unexpected relationships identified in

planning and performing the audit

Procedures to be performed:

  • Examine general journal entries for nonstandard transactions
  • Evaluate policies and accounting for revenue recognition
  • Test and analyze significant accounting estimates for biases
  • Evaluate the business rationale for significant unusual

transactions

Consideration of Fraud

Auditors must consider fraud to “improve the likelihood that auditors will detect material misstatements due to fraud in a financial statement audit.”

SLIDE 13

13

GASB 85 | Omnibus 2017

New Standards

  • This Statement addresses a variety of topics including issues related to blending component

units, goodwill, fair value measurement and application, and postemployment benefits (pensions and other postemployment benefits [OPEB]).

  • This Statement addresses the following topics (and others):
1. Blending a component unit in circumstances in which the primary government is a business-type activity that reports in a single column for financial statement presentation. 2. Reporting amounts previously reported as goodwill and “negative” goodwill 3. Timing of the measurement of pension or OPEB liabilities and expenditures recognized in financial statements prepared using the current financial resources measurement focus 4. Recognizing on-behalf payments for pensions or OPEB in employer financial statements
  • Effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2017. Earlier application is

encouraged.

slide-14
SLIDE 14

GASB 86 | Certain Debt Extinguishment Issues

New Standards

  • The primary objective of this Statement is to improve consistency in accounting and financial

reporting for in-substance defeasance of debt by providing guidance for transactions in which cash and other monetary assets acquired with only existing resources—resources other than the proceeds of refunding debt—are placed in an irrevocable trust for the sole purpose of extinguishing debt.

  • This Statement also improves accounting and financial reporting for prepaid insurance on debt

that is extinguished and notes to financial statements for debt that is defeased in substance.

  • Effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2017. Earlier application is

encouraged.

slide-15
SLIDE 15

15

GASB 84 | Fiduciary Activities

New Standards

Clarifies fiduciary activities as having the following characteristics:

  • Would require stand alone business-type entities (i.e. hospitals) with pension and OPEB trusts
  • r patient custodial accounts to report separate fiduciary fund financial statements within the

financial statements.

  • Effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Earlier application is

encouraged. 1. Government controls the assets of the activity. 2. Those assets are not derived solely from the government’s own source revenue. 3. One of the following: ➢ The assets result from a pass-through grant or trust agreement. ➢ Assets are used to benefit individuals not typical recipients of the government’s goods and services (i.e. employees receive the benefit instead of patients.) ➢ Assets are to be used to benefit other organizations or governments.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

16

GASB 88 | Certain Disclosures Related to Debt, including Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements

New Standards

  • Objective to improve consistency and sufficiency of debt disclosures.
  • Defines debt as a liability arising from a contractual obligation to pay cash or other assets in

lieu of cash to settle an amount fixed at the date the contractual obligation is established. For disclosure purposes, debt does not include leases as leases should follow disclosure requirements outlined in GASB 87.

  • Requires the following additional disclosures: 1) Amount of unused line of credit; 2) assets

pledged as collateral for debt; 3) Significant debt terms such as events of default with finance- related consequences, termination events with finance related circumstances, and subjective acceleration clauses.

  • Note disclosures should separate information for direct borrowings from direct placements of

debt.

  • Effective for reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2018. Earlier application is

encouraged.

SLIDE 17

GASB 90 | Majority Equity Interests (an amendment of GASB Statement No. 14 and No. 61)

New Standards

  • Governments that acquire a majority interest in a separate organization as an investment (i.e.

has the ability to generate its own cash flow and was acquired for the primary purpose of generating income/profit) should measure the investment using the equity method.

  • Special-purpose governments engaged only in fiduciary activities (i.e. a benefit or pension

plan) should measure the investment at fair value.

  • Governments that acquire a majority interest that does not meet the definition of investment

should report the separate organization as a component unit.

  • Governments that acquire 100% equity interest that meets the criteria of a component unit

should follow guidance of a government combination in GASB 69.

  • Effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Earlier application is
  • encouraged. Should be applied retroactively with the exception of bullets 3 and 4 above that

should be applied prospectively.

slide-18
SLIDE 18

18

GASB 87 | Leases

New Standards

  • Would treat all leases as financings (no classification of capital v. operating) similar to FASB

ASU 2016-02.

  • Includes non-cancellable period + periods covered by options to renew if reasonably certain to

be exercised.

  • Lessee would record an intangible asset (amortized over the shorter of its useful life or lease

term) and present value of future lease payments as a liability.

  • Lessor would record a lease receivable and deferred inflow of resources for cash received up

front + future payments (revenue recognized over lease term in a systematic and rational basis).

  • Effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Earlier application is

encouraged.

slide-19
SLIDE 19

19

GASB 89 | Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period

New Standards

  • Interest incurred during construction of an asset that was once eligible for capitalization must

now be expensed as a period cost. The only exception applies to regulated entities (rate setting agencies such as utilities).

  • The objective was to enhance comparability for the cost of borrowing and simplify the

accounting.

  • Respondents to the Exposure Draft argued that stand-alone business type entities (like

hospitals) would no long be comparable to non-governmental counterparts; however, GASB decided not to establish separate objectives for general government vs. business-type activities.

  • Effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Earlier application is
  • encouraged. The Statement should be applied prospectively.
slide-20
SLIDE 20

On the Horizon – Exposure Drafts and Preliminary Views

  • Financial Reporting Model Improvements – Proposes defining “operating” vs. “non-
  • perating” activities; proposes requiring combining financial statements as supplementary

information for blended component units; proposes classification of government-wide expenses by function or program.

  • Revenue and Expense Recognition – Better differentiates exchange from non-exchange

transactions; proposes a uniform revenue recognition standard with 3 models to be evaluated.

  • Conduit Debt Obligations – Would define a conduit debt obligation and would eliminate the

existing option for issuers to report conduit debt as their own obligations. The proposed standard would require annual evaluation of whether certain criteria were met to classify the

  • bligation as conduit debt – if not met the obligation would then be required to be reported as
  • debt. The standard also proposes the requirement to disclose general information about

conduit debt such as the aggregate outstanding principle and a description of each type of

  • commitment. Proposed effective date would be for reporting periods beginning after

December 15, 2020.
