Accounting Scholasticism: The FASB's Preliminary Views
Article Abstract:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) arguments on pension accounting border on pure scholasticism. The needs of financial statement users should be used as a guide in finding a solution. The FASB does not justify pension accounting proposals as an improvement over current information. The proposals do not meet the need of potential users. Differences would not always reflect substantive economic differences in circumstances.
