GASB was established to improve accountability and transparency in financial accounting and reporting standards, which provides useful information to a wide array of stakeholders, not just the government. I think GASBs value lies within their comprehensive and independent process and their ability to remain impartial.

If GASB had yielded to the demands of Texas officials and cancelled Statement No. 45, they are essentially relinquishing their power of neutrality, which could render themselves and their mission obsolete. Seeing how all other states besides Texas, were willing and able to conform, giving up would undermine the accounting communitys confidence in GASBs judgment and effectiveness, playing into the GFOA future narrative that GASB has run its course and its mission is complete.
