DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
With the implementation of GASB 87 (Leases) in FY 21/22 and GASB 96 (Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements) in FY 22/23, the County is required to change the way it accounts for certain leases and software subscriptions. The GASB now considers these transactions in substance as the purchase of capital assets and the issuance of debt. Accordingly, these qualifying leases and software subscriptions require recognition of revenues as if the County had entered into a loan agreement to finance these acquisitions as well as the recognition of a capital expenditure per GAAP.
