New York State will implement Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASBS) 87 - Leases, as well as GASBS 96, Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements beginning with the fiscal year 2022-23 annual financial statements.
Additionally, New York State must implement GASBS 94, Public-Private Partnerships and Public-Public Partnerships, in fiscal year 2023-24 annual financial statements.
These standards fundamentally change how New York State is required to disclose certain agreements related to capital assets, infrastructure and software subscriptions.

Important Dates You Need to Know
New York State’s adoption of GASBS 87 has reached its next step. We have completed our analysis of the use of leasing and have determined the extent to which those activities must be reported in our financial reporting. The help of all reporting entities within New York’s branches of government is now needed to capture the information required for reporting. Please visit the Guide to Financial Operations and this web page to understand your role in this effort – including policies, procedures, tools and upcoming training and support.
