What Is the FASB?
The FASB, or Financial Accounting Standards Board, is the independent organization in the United States responsible for creating and improving the accounting rules known as U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles).
Think of the FASB as the “rule-maker” for how companies prepare financial statements—income statements, balance sheets, cash flows, footnotes, and more.
Its job is to make sure financial information is:
✔ Consistent
✔ Comparable
✔ Transparent
✔ Useful for investors, lenders, regulators, and the public
What Exactly Does the FASB Do?
1. Creates New Accounting Standards
The FASB issues rules called ASUs (Accounting Standards Updates).
These updates refine or change GAAP.
Examples:
- New lease accounting rules
- Updates to revenue recognition
- Changes to goodwill impairment
- Fair value measurement guidance
2. Updates and Improves Existing GAAP
Accounting evolves as business evolves.
The FASB constantly:
- Updates old standards
- Fixes unclear rules
- Responds to emerging issues
- Evaluates stakeholder feedback
3. Provides Guidance and Clarification
Companies often ask:
“What is the correct accounting treatment for this?”
The FASB provides interpretations, examples, and Q&A documents to help.
4. Ensures Transparency in Financial Reporting
The FASB’s ultimate mission is to:
Improve how companies communicate financial information.
This helps investors make smarter decisions and strengthens trust in the financial markets.
⭐ Who Does the FASB Report To?
The FASB is overseen by:
The Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF)
- FAF appoints FASB board members
- FAF ensures independence and governance
- FAF oversees funding and operations
But the FASB does not work for the government—it is private, independent, and funded by accounting support fees and contributions.
⭐ Who Must Follow FASB Rules?
All public companies
(Required by the SEC)
Most private companies
(U.S. GAAP is the standard for lending, audits, and investors)
Nonprofits
(GAAP for nonprofits comes from FASB ASC 958)
Financial professionals
CPAs, CFOs, auditors, controllers—all rely on FASB standards.
⭐ How Does the FASB Create New Standards?
1. Identify an issue (e.g., crypto accounting, leases, revenue)
2. Research & outreach
3. Public meetings
4. Issue exposure draft (public comments invited)
5. Finalize and issue ASU
6. Companies adopt it based on effective dates
This process is designed to be transparent and involve investors, regulators, and professionals.
