Tangible, but transitional

Article Abstract:

The new accounting standards issued by the Public Sector Accounting and Auditing Board (PSAAB) for evaluating tangible capital assets offer numerous benefits to federal, provincial and territorial government applications. Aside from providing substantial information on stewardship, accountability, security and insurance, they are also effective decision-making tools for resource allocation, taxation and budget allocation. Contrary to private sector reporting, the approach has been designed to meet the varying needs of end users. These guidelines take into account various elements including statement of financial positions, operating statements accounts and others.
