GASB has issued an exposure draft that will address implementation issues in GASB 84 and component units while also addressing accounting and financial reporting for Section 457 plans.

This is a very important ED, but it requires a quick turnaround; comments are due by April 10 to assist in distributing these updates in a timely manner.
