This item was filled under Uncategorized

The United States Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF) has announced the completion of its post-implementation review of FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), ‘Business Combinations’ (Statement 141R). The review found that Statement 141R resolved some of the issues associated with the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, that its principles and requirements generally are understandable and can be applied as intended, and that investors generally find the resulting information to be useful. However, the review also noted a number of other issues and makes a number of recommendations for improvements to FASB’s standard-setting process.
