AICPA Council Votes Overwhelmingly to Send a Strong Message to FAF: Adopt Blue Ribbon Panel Recommendation for an Independent Board for Private Companies
The AICPA governing Council overwhelmingly approved a resolution that sends a strong message to the Financial Accounting Foundation: Adopt the Blue Ribbon Panel on Standard Setting for Private Companies’ recommendation for an independent standard-setting board – which is the AICPA’s preference – or the Institute will consider other options. If FAF continues to pursue its plan as proposed, the AICPA Board of Directors will look at other solutions for addressing the needs of private companies, including creating a separate standard-setting body to develop private company generally accepted accounting principles or a comprehensive private company-specific basis of accounting. Members are urged to send a comment letter to FAF in support of the panel’s recommendation by using this quick and simple AICPA tool.
