FAF Trustees Continue GASB Scope of Authority Policy

The Financial Accounting Foundation’s (“FAF”) Board of Trustees recently approved the continuation of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s (“GASB”) scope of authority policy. The report, Three-Year Review of GASB Scope of Authority: Consultation Process Policy, offers the GASB and FAF’s Standard-Setting Process Oversight Committee a pre-agenda consultation roadmap for deciding whether information the GASB considers for standard-setting purposes fits the board’s standard-setting mission. The report also orders the FAF to assess the consultation process three years after implementation.
