At their joint meeting in October 2004, the IASB and the US FASB decided to add to their re­spec­tive agendas a joint project to develop a common conceptual framework, based on and built on both the existing IASB Frameworkand the FASB Conceptual Framework, that both Boards would use as a basis for their accounting standards. Conceptual Framework’s existing status, as not being a Standard and not overriding Standards, has worked well in practice. In 2004, the IASB and the FASB decided to review and revise the conceptual framework, however, changed pri­or­i­ties and the slow progress in the project led to the project being abandoned in 2010 after only Phase A of the original joint project had been finalised and in­tro­duced into the existing framework as Chapters 1 and 3 in September 2010. The conceptual framework developed by the FASB serves as the basis for resolving accounting and reporting problems. The conceptual framework is supposed to embody “a coherent system of interrelated objectives and fundamentals that can lead to consistent standards and that prescribes the nature, function, and limits of financial accounting and financial statements.” 2. 7��Y�-8]�R��07H�ތ�W������$�1��b�x��Ob��)��矾�����}Ev\��ѷq)�Z�{���,��S~�\Rd�}���^_߻�h��]��mr�D �t��yޣ��$�{qn�c"�|�Io ʁ�q4 �l�� � ���m�ѥ�ӏ����C%�4�o�4��K�t~`SxoG\�j� �0��e��p�U¿x���B�4Vp|���(qz�OL[���[=URk����C��VKG�(\�6�"�������S�0�� !���M=y�/ '�4Q�+�#�Cߥ�R/��c����� Visit the Published Documents section of the project page to view the Conceptual Framework exposure draft.
