Upcoming FASB ASC and GASB GARS Updates, Online Store Upgrade: Outage and Impact
The FAF is pleased to announce that we will be launching
a new FASB Accounting Standards Codification® (ASC) platform with a new
Professional View and Basic View, as well as a new online store, with
the new GASB Accounting Research System (GARS) coming thereafter.
The new FASB ASC and GASB GARS—both Basic View and Professional
View—will maintain the content and functionality you are familiar with, along
with the benefits of transitioning to a next generation platform.

FASB and GASB Store Outage
As
part of the cutover, the FASB and GASB online store sites are currently unavailable for a period of time.. All current
subscribers will be able to continue accessing the FASB ASC and GARS Online content
during this time.
FASB ASC: Temporary Feature Freeze and
Account Suspension of Services
While
all current subscribers will still have access to the FASB ASC during this time,
certain Professional View functions
(annotations, feedback, history, saved search, etc.) will not be available
for a brief period of time until the new ASC platform is live.
In
addition, during that time, customers will also not be able to make new
purchases or initiate renewals of the ASC, and administrators for existing Professional
View subscriptions will not be able to make any changes to their account,
including adding or removing individual users from a subscription.
We
hope the impact on you is minimal, and apologize for any inconvenience. Please check back here for updates, or you may
reach out to fasbpubs@fasb.org
with questions.
GASB GARS: Temporary Feature Freeze and
Account Suspension of Services
Similar
to the FASB ASC, all current GARS subscribers will still have access to GARS
but certain Professional View functions
(annotations, bookmarks, feedback, saved search, history, etc.)
will not be available until the new GARS platform is live.
During
that time customers will not be able to make new purchases or initiate renewals
of GARS, and administrators for ProView subscriptions will not be able to make
any changes to their account, including adding or removing individual users
from a subscription. To ensure
uninterrupted service for renewing subscribers, all subscriptions that are
due to be renewed between now and September 30, 2022 will automatically be
extended through September 30, 2022.
We
will provide updates on GASB.org as we approach the potential roll out date for
GARS. We apologize for the suspension of services and inconvenience, and value you as a GASB stakeholder. As such, we will also be extending all paid subscriptions for two additional months at no cost to you. We will add those months on to the end of all existing subscriptions.
Please check back here for updates, or you may reach out to gasbpubs@gasb.org with questions.
