This application addresses both the new PSAB 3150 (Canada) and GASB 34 (United States) legislation, which requires local governments to include tangible capital assets in their annual financial statements.
If viewed as an opportunity, this accounting standards change can lead to enhanced asset management and ultimately accountability at the local level. Online demonstrations can be schedule by contacting our office directly at 519-690-2565 or submitting a request online at http://www.publicsectordigest.com/contact.php.

| CityWide Municipal "Financial
Modeling for Asset Management and Life Cycle Costing" |
PSD has acquired the Global Technology Licensing
Rights for a Long-Term Strategic Financial Modeling
Application for Capital Infrastructure.
The Application allows public sector organizations
to capture the data from their infrastructure inventory
analysis, consolidate it and then facilitate the development
of multiple and unlimited scenarios in real time generating
a series of options and long term recommendations.
Federal/State and/or Provincial, incentives
and funding such as Gas Tax rebates or one time grants
can also be added to the model to reflect the long term
impact and assist appointed and elected officials with
their long term planning.
Results are communicated dynamically through
a graphical interface in layman’s terms. As any
and all financial options can be explored the end result
is an efficient use of staff resources that results
in an effective long-term strategy and plan that can
be understood by all stakeholders.
