AbstractGASB 34 Implementation Using GIS Track: Water Distribution, Wastewater, and Stormwater Author(s): Clint Jensen, Carl Horton GASB 34 requires state and local governments to establish a mechanism that reports infrastructure value, depreciation, and management practices. This paper illustrates the use of GIS in this accounting process. GIS processes include asset inventory and valuation models, depreciation, and implementation of an asset management system in lieu of depreciation. The GIS approach presented in this paper illustrates the long-term benefits of an ongoing GIS-based inventory, valuation, and maintenance program that satisfies GASB 34 requirements.
