This up-to-date and comprehensive electronic book on CD-ROM presents an enormous library of federal government documents and publications covering all aspects of the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB). The mission of the FASAB is to promulgate federal accounting standards after considering the financial and budgetary information needs of citizens, congressional oversight groups, executive agencies, and the needs of other users of federal financial information. Accounting and financial reporting standards are essential for public accountability and for an efficient and effective functioning of our democratic system of government. Thus, federal accounting standards and financial reporting play a major role in fulfilling the government's duty to be publicly accountable and can be used to assess (1) the government's accountability and its efficiency and effectiveness, and (2) the economic, political, and social consequences of the allocation and various uses of federal resources. Publications issued by FASAB include: · Exposure drafts · Volumes presenting original pronouncements and current text · Newsletters · Minutes · Meeting agendas · Original pronouncements · Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and Concepts · Accounting and Auditing Policy Committee · Fiduciary Activities · Inter-entity Costs · Social Insurance · Heritage Assets, Stewardship Land This incredible CD-ROM is packed with over 8,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Macintosh systems.
