September and October 2013 Public Roundtable Meetings on the FASB and IASB Revised Exposure Draft on Leases
The FASB and the IASB will host several joint public round-table meetings on their revised joint proposals on leases that were published in May 2013: the revised proposed FASB Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 842), and the IASB´s Exposure Draft, Leases.
The round-table meetings are an important part of the boards´ due process on the revised Exposure Drafts. The meetings will provide an opportunity for those that have submitted a comment letter, or who still intend to submit a comment letter, to discuss the proposals with the boards in further detail. To ensure that the boards receive input covering a variety of perspectives, they are seeking participation from preparers, auditors, investors, and others.
Registration information for interested participants and observers is
available on the Leases project
pages on the FASB
and IASB
websites.
An audio recording of the round-table meetings will be made available shortly after each meeting on the FASB and IASB websites.

About the International Accounting Standards Board
The IASB was established in 2001 and is the standard-setting body of the IFRS Foundation, an independent, private sector, not-for-profit organisation. The IASB is committed to developing, in the public interest, a single set of high quality, global accounting Standards that provide high quality, transparent and comparable information in general purpose financial statements. In pursuit of this objective the IASB conducts extensive public consultations and seeks the co-operation of international and national bodies around the world. The IASB has 16 full-time members drawn from 11 countries and a variety of professional backgrounds. Board members are appointed by, and accountable to, the Trustees of the IFRS Foundation, who are required to select the best available combination of technical expertise and diversity of international business and market experience. In their work the Trustees are accountable to a Monitoring Board of public authorities.
About the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Since 1973, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has been the designated
organization in the private sector for establishing standards of financial
accounting and reporting. Those standards govern the preparation of financial
reports and are officially recognized as authoritative by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Such standards are essential to the efficient functioning of the economy because
investors, creditors, auditors, and others rely on credible, transparent, and
comparable financial information. For more information about the FASB, visit our
