About the comment letter process

Riveron regularly submits comment letters to the FASB on invitations to comment on potential projects to amend U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to be undertaken by the Board. The FASB's comment process is designed to ensure transparency in the standard-setting process. Riveron's technical accounting team is a proud stakeholder in this process, monitoring all proposed changes and amendments on behalf of its clients. The FASB relies on the input of practitioners and financial statement stakeholders who are familiar with the day-to-day accounting challenges and opportunities faced by CFOs and accounting leaders.

After thoroughly reviewing comments on invitations to comment, the FASB may propose amendments to GAAP. These proposed accounting standards updates are subject to a further comment letter process and may become final standards published in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), which provides the official text for GAAP. The final standards will also include a detailed explanation of the changes and their effective dates.
