Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB): Government accounting standards board (GASB) is an independent board that makes accounting reporting standards for the local and state government of Country U, which follows generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
According to GASB guideline, an item should recognize on the financial statements in the following two conditions:
