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 currently work as a bookkeeper. I became a PRO user as I had studied a different field in college, but as I moved up in the outsourced accounting firm I worked for, I needed to learn more about accounting. I like the fact that the materials are easy to understand, and that I didn't have to spend a fortune on more college courses. Thanks to AccountingCoach, I've been able to go further in my career, which has led to a better lifestyle." - Rachel M.
