IASB and FASB Commitment to Memorandum of Understanding

Quarterly Progress Report – 31 March 2010

In November 2009, we, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), released a joint statement in which they:

  •  Reaffirmed their commitment to improving International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and achieving their convergence.  
  • Agreed to intensify their efforts to complete the major joint projects described in the 2006 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), as updated in 2008.  
  • Described their plans for completing those major projects, including milestone targets for each project.  
  • Committed to providing transparency and accountability regarding those milestones by reporting quarterly on their progress and making those reports available on our websites.
