Appendix E - Statutory Issue Papers

Issue papers provide historical documentation of discussions and issues leading to the adoption of new statutory accounting concepts. Captured in Level 5 of the Statutory Hierarchy of the Preamble, issue papers shall only be used and applied if they do not conflict with other sources of statutory guidance. Issue papers are included in Appendix E of the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual the first year after adoption of the related SSAP, and are then removed from the subsequent year's AP&P Manual and posted for public reference on the Statutory Accounting Principles (E) Working Group web page.
