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.

"AccountingCoach is an amazing self-teaching tool for those first starting out and also for those that need the refresher course. It is written in a very engaging style that motivates you to read and continue to learn. It is very easy to understand, and breaks down a complicated subject matter into a progressive 'simple to learn and achieve success' system. I am enjoying AccountingCoach so much. I chose to be a member for life. Adding AccountingCoach to my toolbox has been one of the best investments I've made." - Cheryl
