In September 2006, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued GASB Statement No. 48, Sales and Pledges of Receivables and Future Revenues and Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets and Future Revenues. The new standard offers authoritative guidance on:

* Accounting for cash received in exchange for rights to the collection of specific receivables

* Accounting for cash received in exchange for rights to specific future revenue streams

* Accounting for the transfer of assets within the financial reporting entity

* Note disclosure requirements applicable to all pledges of specific future revenues.

The new pronouncement must be implemented starting with fiscal years that end December 31, 2007. Earlier implementation is encouraged.
