The Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) Discussion Group’s June Meeting Report has been released, which covered several important topics for municipalities recognizing, measuring, and reporting ARO liability. 360’s Manager of Asset Retirement Obligations, Graeme Hawkins, was instrumental in introducing these considerations by sharing examples of how professional judgement has varied when assessing AROs under Section PS 3280.
This report represents a significant step in helping municipalities navigate these obligations responsibly, thank you Graeme for your input and expertise!
