The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is an independent, private-sector organization based in Norwalk, Connecticut, established in 1984 to develop and issue financial accounting and reporting standards for U.S. state and local governments that follow GAAP. Its standards are recognized as authoritative by governments, state Boards of Accountancy, and the AICPA, and are produced through a transparent, inclusive process aimed at producing useful information for taxpayers, public officials, investors, and other users of financial reports. GASB operates within the accounting industry and serves a public sector audience by guiding how government entities report financial results and infrastructure assets, including ongoing work on areas such as infrastructure asset accounting and related disclosures. The organization comprises a board and staff who oversee standard-setting activities, and it maintains a presence in Norwalk, with recent developments including the publication of new guidance and educational resources intended to help stakeholders understand and apply government financial reporting.
