Plan and hold the annual Financial Reporting Issues Conference in accordance with established AAA policies, and in consultation with the representatives of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Specifically:

  1. Review previous committees' reports and other important background material.
  2. Review the content, scope, structure of, and the breadth of participation in, the conference, and adjust these attributes so the conference can best serve as a forum to (1) provide informed and diverse feed back at micro as well as macro policy levels from the research community to the FASB, and (2) inform the research community about the policy issues before the FASB, and difficulties of resolving them.
  3. Coordinate the conduct and administration of the conference, ensuring that the conference participants are chosen to serve its above-mentioned functions.
  4. Invite the 2008–09 committee members to the 2008 conference.
  5. The Chair will provide an annual report to the Executive Committee Liaison, AAA President, and Executive Director by the deadline to be included in advanced materials for their meeting.
