Reporting Performance Information:
Suggested Criteria for Effective Communication Based on GASB
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) has recently published a special report entitled, Reporting
Performance Information: Suggested Criteria for Effective
Communication. This report describes what governments can do to
produce effective reports on performance. The suggested criteria are
intended to provide guidance for governments that, if followed,
should result in external reports on Service Efforts and
Accomplishments (SEA) that communicate relevant, reliable
information about the results of government programs and services to
elected officials, citizens, and other users. This workshop will
offer the opportunity to review GASB 34 reporting standards,
highlight the GASB’s SEA research, share information about the
managing for results process, accountability and citizen
involvement, present an overview of the suggested criteria with
illustrations from current SEA reports, and discuss efforts to
encourage experimentation with the suggested criteria. - Instructor:
