Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued GASB Statement 98 renaming the Comprehensive Annual Report to the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. The standard eliminates an unintended consequence when the acronym was pronounced that was similar to a racial slur. By renaming the report, the new acronym removes the offensive issue and engages in an inclusive environment.
