The Financial Crisis Advisory Group (FCAG) - a joint advisory group formed by FASB and the IASB in 2008 to advise the two boards on accounting issues relating to the credit crisis (culminating in issuance of the
FCAG final report in July, 2009) - will meet in London on December 15 to discuss:
- the IASB's and FASB's actions in response to the FCAG final report , and
- other developments in the standard-setting and regulatory environments.
Plans for the December meeting had been announced in July, as noted in the cover letter included in
FCAG's final report (printed pg iii, pdf pg 4), signed by co-chairs
Harvey Goldschmid (a former SEC Commissioner) and
Hans Hoogervorst (Chairman of the Management Board of the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets or AFM), as well as in the related
press release and
letter to the G-20. The specific date of Dec. 15 and meeting location were noted in this
announcement released by the boards yesterday.
