Welcome to Episode One of Bridging the GAAP, a podcast brought to you by the Financial Accounting Foundation.

My name is Eileen Foley, Senior Manager of Digital Operations, and each episode you will hear directly from leaders and experts of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (otherwise known as the #GASB.)

In today's episode, our host Matt Broder speaks with GASB Chair, Joel Black to discuss and demystify the Financial Data Transparency Act – which is a hot topic these days in governmental financial reporting.

Now, let’s listen in as Matt guides us through today's discussion. Over to you, Matt!
