Workshop Description:
MFOA, in collaboration with KPMG, has developed a guideline document for municipalities to assist with implementation efforts, and key decision points on scoping, implementation, and measurement approaches. This workshop will put participants to work applying the guideline. By the end of the workshop participants will understand the content of the guideline and the accounting standard, and have a working draft of an ARO policy, and an implementation project plan. The morning part of the session will inform participants of the key elements of the guideline document, and the intricacies of PS3280, asset retirement obligations. The afternoon is time to roll up your sleeves, and collaborate with the other participants in tailoring a policy and work plan to your municipality.
