Over the last few months, Redpath professionals have been presenting, teaching, and trading ideas with leaders across the government accounting space. From leading conference sessions to advanced courses, we’ve been investing time where it matters most: with government finance professionals who rely on clear, accurate, practical guidance.
In September, we presented a GASB update at the MNGFOA annual conference, helping local government finance teams understand new reporting requirements and prepare for what’s coming. A few weeks later, we led an Advanced Accounting class focused on governmental reporting for professionals wanting to sharpen their skills. These touchpoints—from teaching and answering questions to comparing notes—help us build a stronger profession and deliver better outcomes for our clients.
As GASB standards continue to evolve, we’re committed to deciphering the changes and guiding clients through each implementation. We know the lift can be heavy with tight budgets, limited staff, and short timelines, so we’re working hard to make things manageable and clear. Whether we’re showing up in a classroom, at a conference, or one-on-one during an audit, Redpath is here as a partner you can lean on.
If you’re preparing for GASB 102, or just want to stay ahead of what’s next, stay connected here or reach out to Rebecca Petersen to talk about planning and implementation that fits your team and your goals.
