What is FASB?
FASB is the independent U.S. accounting standard-setting body based in Norwalk, Conn., that sets U.S. generally accepted accounting principles used by all U.S. publicly-traded companies. Bob Herz, chairman of FASB, gave a speech in New York last week discussing the performance of U.S. GAAP in this financial crisis.
