On July 1, FASB launched its Accounting Standards Codification as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP other than guidance issued by the SEC. The codification simplifies user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by reorganizing current U.S. GAAP into one topically organized source. Part 1 provides an understanding of the background and content, of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
