Cindy Fornelli Executive Director Center for Audit Quality

Center for Audit Quality Executive Director Cindy Fornelli made the following statement in response to the joint issuance of a converged standard on revenue recognition by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB):

"This new standard is the result of an extensive joint effort between IASB and FASB, and the Center for Audit Quality applauds this standard-setting achievement. In this global economy, it is increasingly important for financial regulators to work constructively across borders. The issuance of a joint standard by IASB and FASB is a welcome development in this regard."
