<br />-18- <br />GASB STATEMENT NO. 102, CERTAIN RISK DISCLOSURES <br /> <br />The objective of this statement is to provide users of government financial statements with essential <br />information about risks related to a government’s vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or <br />constraints. <br /> <br />This statement defines a concentration as a lack of diversity related to an aspect of a significant inflow of <br />resources or outflow of resources. A constraint is a limitation imposed on a government by an external <br />party or by formal action of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority. Concentrations <br />and constraints may limit a government’s ability to acquire resources or control spending. <br /> <br />A government will be required to assess whether a concentration or constraint makes the primary <br />government reporting unit or other reporting units that report a liability for revenue debt vulnerable to the <br />risk of a substantial impact. Additionally, a government must assess whether an event or events associated <br />with a concentration or constraint that could cause the substantial impact have occurred, have begun to <br />occur, or are more likely than not to begin to occur within 12 months of the date the financial statements <br />are issued. <br /> <br />If a government determines that those criteria for disclosure have been met for a concentration or constraint, <br />it should disclose information (as outlined in the standard) in the notes to financial statements in sufficient <br />detail to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature of the circumstances disclosed and <br />the government’s vulnerability to the risk of a substantial impact. <br /> <br />The requirements of this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2024, and all <br />reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is encouraged. <br /> <br />
