2025 Annual Update for Governments and Not-for-Profits

This comprehensive course provides the essential updates for professionals working with governments and not-for-profit organizations. We'll begin with an in-depth review of recent GASB standards, including compensated absences, certain asset disclosures, risk and uncertainty disclosures, and financial reporting model improvements. For each standard, we'll cover its background, potential impact, and practical strategies for implementation to ensure you're fully prepared. Next, we'll shift focus to the FASB and its implications for nonprofit organizations. While there haven't been recent nonprofit-specific standards, several Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) significantly impact NFPs. We'll explore these ASUs, evaluate changes to programmatic investments, and discuss their interplay with the CECL standard. Additionally, we'll highlight the movement in IFR4NPO, a global initiative to develop universal financial reporting standards for nonprofits, offering insights into its potential worldwide impact.

In the second half, we'll turn to governmental auditing. Key topics include the 2024 Yellow Book updates, the transition from quality control to quality management, and the implementation timelines. For Single Audits, we'll cover the 2024 Uniform Guidance changes, the 2025 Compliance Supplement, GAO reports on improper payments and fraud, the Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA), and recent Department of Education guidance on related parties.
