GASB requires more statistical disclosure.
GASB has issued Statement No. 44, Economic Condition Reporting: The
Statistical Section, which enhances and updates the statistical section
that accompanies a state or local government's basic financial
statements.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
The statistical section comprises schedules presenting trend
information about revenues and expenses; outstanding debt; economics and
demographics; among other subjects.
The statement reflects changes that have taken place in government
finance, including the more comprehensive governmentwide financial
information required by GASB Statement No. 34.
