Accounting Today reported that in an interview with staff members, FASB board chairman Leslie Seidman said many of the priority projects slated for convergence with the IASB probably won’t be settled until next year at the earliest.
Commenting on the completion of FASB’s re-deliberation discussions with the IASB on the leasing project, Accounting Today quotes Seidman as saying, “We are continuing to work through the issues that were raised with the exposure draft.” Seidman added, “We have already decided to re-expose that as well, which again was an extremely well-received decision because people do want an opportunity to look at the revised conclusions in the context of the standard as a whole.”
Once those discussions conclude late this fall, Seidman said the leasing proposals would be re-exposed for 120 days with the IASB. “Likewise, we’re looking at a timeframe of sometime next spring to start the re-deliberations on leasing, depending on the feedback that we get, and we’re looking at re-deliberations after that, with a goal of trying to conclude leasing in 2012,” Seidman is quoted as saying by Accounting Today.
