These differences between the models of the two bodies is not expected to affect the implementation of licensing greatly, however, it is expected that a section of the licensing procedure may be affected. The other issue that regards the application of royalty and other constraints to it rather than having it split is found to be consistent within the decisions made by the staff of the two boards giving sign of a continued agreement between the two entities. On the issue of materiality of promises made, the Financial Accounting Standards Board took on evaluation of the practicability of contract promises and stated that if any promise is found impractical then that promise may not be evaluated. On the same note the International Accounting Standards Board decided to have a fixed decision on the standards and stayed firm on not evaluating the existing standards on this question.

The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB Codification) is the only source of authoritative GAAP apart from SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an Accounting Standards Update to inform people about changes to the FASB Codification, which includes changes to non-authoritative SEC content.

Christopher Biedka Chapter 3 – Exercises and Problems 1, 2, 4, 5, and 9 1. In the preceding quote, a statement is made that accounting standards that are being developed by the IASB are not paying enough attention to the concerns and practices of European companies. The largest concern for European companies is that IFRS is heavily influenced by the Anglo-Saxon style of accounting and Europe is concerned that the IASB is going to require every country in the world to adhere to this style.

Generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, are the common set of accounting standards in the U.S. GAAP was issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and is a subject to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. The AICPA first created the Committee on Accounting Procedure in 1939 and replaced that with the Accounting Principles Board in 1959. In 1973, the Accounting Principles Board was replaced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under the supervision of the Financial Accounting Foundation, with the Financial Accounting Standards Advisory Council, serving to advise and provide input on the accounting standards. Other organizations involved in determining the United States accounting standards include the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), formed in 1984; also, the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB), formed in 1990. In 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a preliminary "roadmap" that may lead the United States to renounce Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the future, and join more than 100 countries around the world instead, in using the London-based International Financial Reporting Standards.
