As resources allow, the GASB responds to technical inquiries about governmental accounting and financial reporting to promote the uniform application of GAAP and to foster relations with the GASB's constituency.

Staff responses to technical inquiries reflect the staffs' opinions in light of the particular circumstances described by the inquirer, and should not be viewed as a general position of the Board. Official positions of the GASB are established only after extensive deliberation and due process.
