	Understanding Issues of Significance to Stand-Alone BTAs Resulting From Select Recent GASB Standards Special-purpose governments engaged only in business-type activities (BTAs) have unique financial reporting considerations. Register today for the live Governmental Audit Quality Center webcast Understanding Issues of Significance to Stand-Alone BTAs Resulting From Select Recent GASB Standards, which will focus primarily on stand-alone BTAs that have component units rather than general-purpose governments with BTAs in their reporting entity. If you are an auditor or preparer of governmental hospitals or health care providers, governmental colleges or universities, public utilities, or another special-purpose government that is a BTA, please consider attending this session. It will be presented by members of three different AICPA Expert Panels: Health Care, Not-for-Profit, and State and Local Governments. Register today
