Data Standardization
Built on GASB and GAAP Principles
As municipal financial analysts, we know from experience that municipalities report financials differently with unique line item names, inconsistent classifications, and idiosyncratic formats make comparison slow and analysis difficult.
MuniSpot addresses this by standardizing each financial statement against an accounting framework informed by both GASB taxonomy and GAAP principles, while preserving the original, as-reported figures from every ACFR. Our data model draws on GASB as the authoritative guide for U.S. state and local government accounting, complemented by generally accepted accounting concepts to create a consistent, comparable structure. Whether the source is a small town in New York or a major Texas city, every metric is organized under a coherent framework without losing fidelity to the original report
Standardized and As-Reported
Compare standardized line items across municipalities, or see the as-reported figures from the original ACFR.
Consistent Classification
Revenues, expenditures, assets, and liabilities are mapped to standardized categories based on GASB standards and GAAP principles
True Comparability
Compare pension liabilities in Chicago with those in Phoenix, or debt service in a California school district with one in Florida, using the same structure and definitions.
Built for Professional Analysis
Our accounting framework is informed by the standards commonly used by auditors, rating agencies, and institutional investors, helping your analysis align with market conventions.
