Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts
This is the first in a series of Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts. The purpose
of the series is to set forth fundamentals on which financial accounting and reporting standards
will be based. More specifically, Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts are intended to
establish the objectives and concepts that the Financial Accounting Standards Board will use in
developing standards of financial accounting and reporting.
The Board itself is likely to be the major user and thus the most direct beneficiary of the
guidance provided by the new series. However, knowledge of the objectives and concepts the
Board uses should enable all who are affected by or interested in financial accounting standards
to better understand the content and limitations of information provided by financial accounting
and reporting, thereby furthering their ability to use that information effectively and enhancing
confidence in financial accounting and reporting. That knowledge, if used with care, may also
provide guidance in resolving new or emerging problems of financial accounting and reporting
in the absence of applicable authoritative pronouncements.
Unlike a Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, a Statement of Financial
Accounting Concepts does not establish generally accepted accounting principles and therefore
is not intended to invoke the application of Rule 203 of the Rules of Conduct of the Code of
Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successor rule
or arrangement of similar scope and intent).* Like other pronouncements of the Board, a
Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts may be amended, superseded, or withdrawn by
appropriate action under the Board's Rules of Procedure.
