Webinar Recording: PS 3280 – Asset Retirement Obligations for Public Entities

Under the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) government entities are required to declare and make allowance for environmental liabilities on owned assets. This level of assessment is unique in that existing records are rarely adequate to fully quantify the costs of decommissioning. At Pinchin we have been performing this work for several years. Our webinar recapped the elements of asset retirement obligations and dug deeper into the process of quantifying liabilities accurately and diligently.

Webinar Outline

In this webinar you will learn about:

  • Fundamentals of PSAB
  • What are we looking for
  • How do I gather my baseline information?
  • Where do I get cost data from?
  • Building environmental (asbestos, lead, PCBs, etc.) issues
  • Contaminated soil and groundwater issues
  • Landfill issues
