Question

The accountants for a city are attempting to determine the proper reporting for a new transaction so that the financial statements are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. No authoritative answer can be found. What should happen next?

  2. The accountants can report the transaction in the way that they believe is best.
  3. The accountants should study other nonauthoritative sources such as GASB Concepts Statements and the official standards produced by FASB.
