This series of output by the Financial Accounting Standards Board is part of the board’s conceptual framework project. The original goal in the 1970’s was to articulate the definitions, practices, and rules that were used in accounting. It was hoped that from this structured compilation new rules will flow more easily and logically. However, this series of statements is not viewed as part of the generally accepted accounting principles.
Seven concepts statements have been issued and can be read at www.fasb.org under the tab entitled Standards.
Featured Review
"I graduated with an accounting degree 10+ years ago. I was up for a job promotion that was going to dive into cost accounting which is something that I haven't really dealt with in my professional career. AccountingCoach was an outstanding refresher course on the core concepts of cost accounting. I studied the materials, retaught myself concepts I haven't thought about for over 10 years, and got the promotion. Using AccountingCoach was the best decision I could have made! Would recommend to anyone!" - Adam C.
