Advanced Specialty Topic – Compensated Absences
9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m., Thursday, July 9, 2026
In response to feedback from CSMFO core accounting and financial reporting courses, we are pleased to offer a series of two- and three-hour sessions on advanced specialty topics.
This session provides a comprehensive overview of the new accounting and financial reporting requirements under GASB Statement No. 101, Compensated Absences. Participants will explore the key principles, scope, and objectives of the Statement, focusing on recognition, measurement, and disclosure of compensated absences such as vacation, sick leave, and other paid time off within governmental entities. The session includes practical examples, discussion of implementation challenges, and guidance on transitioning from previous standards.
This course is limited to a small class size to allow in-depth discussion between the instructor and attendees.
Instructor:
- Kelly Telford, Partner, LSL
Continuing Professional Education: 2 hours of CPE (Accounting & Auditing, Government).
Cost: $100 for CSMFO members
$130 for non-CSMFO members

Refund Policy for Course and Chapter Events
1. A full refund to a course or chapter event (“event”), regardless of method of delivery (i.e. virtual or in person), will be provided to an enrollee provided the enrollee submits a request in writing at least 3 business days before the event by emailing office@staff.csmfo.org. A $25 cancellation fee will be assessed, and no account credits will be offered.
2. CSMFO will allow certain transfers of the event registration if the enrollee provides written notice (by emailing office@staff.csmfo.org) at least 3 business days before an event, as follows:
a. The enrollee may transfer their registration to another event that already exists on the event calendar within the same calendar year.
b. The enrollee may transfer their registration to another person for the same event. c. If the transfer is unable to be made to an event that already exists on the event calendar in the same calendar year, CSMFO will provide a full refund (no cancellation fees). d. In cases where such transfers result in a price differential (for example, if the new event has a higher fee than the event, or, if the transfer is being made from a member to a non-member), the differential will become due to CSMFO.
3. If an enrollee registers for an event within the 3 business days of the event and is unable to attend, no refund or transfer will be allowed.
