The Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF)

Established in 1972, the Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF) is the independent, private-sector, not-for-profit organization based in Norwalk, Connecticut responsible for the oversight, administration, financing, and appointment of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The FASB and GASB establish and improve financial accounting and reporting standards – known as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP – for public and private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and state and local governments in the United States.

FASB

Established in 1973, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the independent, private-sector, not-for-profit organization based in Norwalk, Connecticut, that establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for public and private companies and not-for-profit organizations that follow U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

The FASB conducts a Post-Implementation Review (PIR) of most major standards to evaluate whether the standard is achieving its objective by providing financial statement users with relevant information in ways that justify the cost of providing it. The PIR process is an important quality control mechanism built into FASB’s standard-setting process and academic research is an important input into the PIR process. More information about the PIR process is available on the PIR landing page . Information pertaining to the use of academic research in standard setting and links to resources that might be of particular interest to the academic community are available on the Academic landing page .

Currently, the FASB is engaged in post-implementation reviews of the standards among the topics of the Accounting for an Ever-Changing World conference. Following are links to FASB resources that may be of interest to those undertaking research related to these topic areas.

IASB

IFRS Accounting Standards are set by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), one of the two standard-setting bodies of the IFRS Foundation. Our work serves the public interest by fostering trust, growth and long-term financial stability in the global economy.

As part of its due process the IASB conducts Post-implementation Reviews (PIRs) of its Standards. The Board will assess whether: the objectives of the standard-setting project have been met; information provided by applying the Standard is useful to users of financial statements; the costs arising for preparing, auditing, enforcing, or using the information provided by applying the Standard are broadly as expected by the Board when it developed the Standard; and the requirements are capable of being applied consistently. Academic research can contribute to the PIR process. Listed below are links to additional materials that are relevant to academic research and PIRs. The Accounting for an Ever-Changing World conference offers an opportunity to discuss academic research on these topics.
