April 11, 2012 FASB Board Meeting
Accounting for financial instruments: liquidity and interest rate risk disclosures. The Board decided not to require qualitative disclosures related to an entity´s ability to remain a going concern that would supplement the proposed quantitative disclosures about liquidity risks. The basis for that decision was that meeting the additional informational needs of users with respect to the topic of an entity´s ability to remain a going concern would likely require a collaborative effort of the FASB and other organizations that possess the interest and means to provide the most effective solution.
