[ACFR-contacts-news] Full access to GASB's Governmental Accounting Research Software now FREE

[HAMILTON Robert W * DAS]

Good morning ACFR Contacts,

The Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF), which oversees the GASB and the FASB recently announced that access to their Governmental Accounting Research Software (GARS) is now free for everyone. Previously, there was a professional view that required a paid subscription whereas there was a free "basic version" with fewer features. We in SARS use GARS pretty regularly when conducting research and we've found it really helpful over the years. Here's a link: https://gars.gasb.org/Login

For those that are interested in FASB Guidance, the FAF has similarly made the Accounting Standards Codification free for everyone. Here's that link: https://asc.fasb.org/Login

I hope you find these helpful.

Rob
