History of the Accounting Standard Setting Process in the U.S.

This video outlines the history of the accounting standard-setting process in the United States. This began with the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which required publicly-traded firms to file extensive financial disclosures and created the Securities and Exchange Commission to regulate those disclosures. The SEC delegated the responsibility for creating accounting standards to a private organization, the Committee on Accounting Procedure, in 1939. The CAP was the standard-setter until 1959, when it was replaced by the Accounting Principles Board. The APB issued accounting standards until 1973, when it was replaced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The FASB has created a conceptual framework to guide the development of accounting standards, and in 2009 it codified the accounting standards to create a single level of GAAP.—
