EP 9: I get to give testamony to the Governmental Accounting Standards Board in 60 minutes

Ep 9: GASB

Hi there. I hope you're well!

It's been an extremely busy few weeks.

Take a look at https://josh.works/gasb​

Watch the first few minutes of the presentation. They're interesting. GASB is holding public testimony, and I get to talk about accounting with a bunch of accountants.

"Josh, do you know *anything* about accounting?"

In some ways, no, not at all.

In other ways, I know a lot about accounting.

The principles under discussion are extremely generalizable.

Here's a thought experiment:

If you have $20k in your bank account, are you in a good place or a bad place?

How about if you have a $30k credit card bill?

Anyway, if any of you have a hankering to tune in, at 12:45p Mountain time, head to https://gasb.org/jsp/GASB/Page/GASBSectionPage&cid=1176163491510​

There's a break between 12:30-12:45p Mountain, so if you tune in early, you won't see anything happening.

That's it for now. I need to go finish up my slides. Wish me luck!

I'm planning (mostly) on having fun with this, and ideally being not super boring.

-Josh

PS Next week I'll get back to our regularly scheduled programming of: programming, urbanism, rock climbing, and more.
