Explanation of Solution
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:
- If the item meets the definition of an element.
- If the item is measured with adequate reliability to record.
A note disclosure should accompany an item that is recognized on the statements if the note provides necessary information about item to the users.
For example, if there is an item such as long-term debts on the financial statements, then the essential information such as schedule of payments, types of debt, and interest on debt should provide as a note disclosure on the statements.
