29) Presented below are three independent, unrelated statements regarding the
formulation of generally accepted accounting principles. Each statement contains some
incorrect or debatable statement(s).
Statement I
The users of financial accounting statements have coinciding and conflicting needs for
statements of various types. To meet these needs, and to satisfy the financial reporting
responsibility of management, accountants prepare different sets of financial statements
for different users.
Statement II
The FASB should be responsive to the needs and viewpoints of the entire economic
community, not just the public accounting profession. The FASB therefore will succeed
because it will deal effectively with all interested groups.
Statement III
The Securities and Exchange Commission is very concerned about financial reporting and
has formulated a committee called the Accounting Standards Executive Committee
(AcSEC). This will provide input to the FASB. In addition, after each FASB Statement is
issued, the AcSEC issues Statements of Position stating its position on the FASB
statement.
Instructions
Evaluate each of the independent statements and identify the areas of fallacious reasoning
in each. Explain why the reasoning is incorrect. Complete your discussion of each
statement before proceeding to the next statement.
