This work investigates why the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Conceptual Framework Project (1973-1985), which sought to set down financial reporting standards for accounting, attracted so much criticism. The author suggests that a CF is expected to bear too heavy a load, but that it cannot furnish the answer to all financial accounting ills. He believes that the best contribution that a CF can offer is that it can provide a focus to the debate that leads to a new financial reporting standard.

This easy-to-read accounting theory text contains two distinct, but integrated parts. Part One focuses on two interwoven topics: accounting theory formulation and standard setting in a chronological format. This section analyzes the major historical efforts attempted in the development of an accounting theory. The Conceptual Framework project is studied, and the FASB and how it influences current standard setting is examined. Part Two covers contemporary financial reporting issues as they relate to the FASB's Conceptual Framework. Controversial accounting areas, such as cash flows, accounting for pensions, post-employment benefits and stock options, are studied within the context of the definitions of assets and liabilities provided by the Conceptual Framework. Interesting and challenging cases provide the reader with practical experience in applying accounting theory.
