About us
	 Business Development Advisors

is an economic development

consulting firm
	 Smart Incentives helps communities

make sound decisions 

throughout the incentives process
2	©	2016	SMART	INCENTIVES
Why do we use incentives?
	 To achieve our community’s economic development goals

◦  Jobs
◦  Business Development
◦  Investment
◦  Downtown revitalization
◦  Brownfield redevelopment
◦  Quality of life and quality of place
◦  Strengthen tax base
	 Incentives are not just about winning a deal. Smart incentive use is
always connected to a larger economic development strategy.
3	©	2016	SMART	INCENTIVES
What is driving interest in
incentives disclosure?
	 Disconnect between what economic developers believe they do
and what others think they do
	 Growth in incentive use
◦  more programs
◦  more money
◦  more projects
	 Expectation for data-driven, performance-based accountability in
government programs
©	2016	SMART	INCENTIVES		 4
Fundamentals of reporting
& disclosure
	 Transparency
◦  How much are we spending?
◦  Who is receiving incentives?
	 Accountability
◦  What are we getting out of our incentives spending?
◦  Do our programs help us achieve our goals in an effective and
efficient manner?
5	©	2016	SMART	INCENTIVES
Reporting is part of the
incentives process
©	2016	SMART	INCENTIVES		 6
Introduction to GASB 77
	 Requires disclosure of financial information about tax abatement
agreements between individual taxpayers and governments
◦  Guidance is limited to tax abatements – does not include all tax
expenditures or other forms of assistance to businesses
◦  Not limited to tax abatements for business attraction/expansion
	 Why? To make transparent the financial impact of transactions
that can limit a government’s revenue-raising ability
	 GASB is not directly concerned with the effect of tax abatements
on economic development outcomes
	 In effect for financial statements for periods beginning after Dec.
15, 2015
©	2016	SMART	INCENTIVES		 7
Three steps for economic
developers
	 Understand which tax incentives meet the GASB criteria for
disclosure
	 Communicate with your government finance staff
	 Determine how to supplement the financial disclosure
◦  Disclosures will describe costs but not expected benefits of tax
abatements
◦  Consider supplemental reports
◦  Be prepared for questions
◦  Engage and be a good resource

  • 7. Introduction to GASB 77  Requires disclosure of financial information about tax abatement agreements between individual taxpayers and governments ◦  Guidance is limited to tax abatements – does not include all tax expenditures or other forms of assistance to businesses ◦  Not limited to tax abatements for business attraction/expansion  Why? To make transparent the financial impact of transactions that can limit a government’s revenue-raising ability  GASB is not directly concerned with the effect of tax abatements on economic development outcomes  In effect for financial statements for periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2015 © 2016 SMART INCENTIVES 7
  • 8. Three steps for economic developers  Understand which tax incentives meet the GASB criteria for disclosure  Communicate with your government finance staff  Determine how to supplement the financial disclosure ◦  Disclosures will describe costs but not expected benefits of tax abatements ◦  Consider supplemental reports ◦  Be prepared for questions ◦  Engage and be a good resource © 2016 SMART INCENTIVES 8
