FASB Previews Framework for Deciding on Accounting Standards Changes for Private Companies According to an article in the \"Accounting Today\" on April 15, 2013, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) and the Private Company Council (PCC) are determining whether to have a set of guidelines that will provide \"alternative recognition, measurement, disclosure, display effective date or transition guidance for private companies\" reporting under U.S. GAAP. Most private companies are not recognizing deferred income taxes, not accruing employee benefit costs, and not consolidating variable-interest entities due to the complexity and cost in preparing financial statements. Therefore both FASB and PCC proposed that private companies should be allowed to select the alternative guidelines within U.S. GAAP that are deem appropriate for recognition and measurement guidance, rather than applying all the alternatives within GAAP. However, the proposed guide will continue to provide the financial information that will benefit financial users such as investors and lenders to make financial decisions. The guide will help identify the unique needs of the private company industry as well as reduce the complexity and cost of preparing financial statements under current U.S. GAAP guidelines.
