Feb 08, 2023

In November 2022, the IASB, FASB and "The Accounting Review" hosted an academic conference "Accounting for an ever-changing world". As part of the conference, Mary Barth, Vice-Chair of the US Financial Accounting Foundation, hosted a fireside chat with IASB Chair Andreas Barckow and FASB Chair Rich Jones.

Main theme of the conference was the relation between academic research and standard-setting and, especially, how academics and their research can contribute to post-implementation reviews.

A recording of the one-hour chat is now publicly available. (Please note that the first eight minutes of the recording are a general introduction of the conference followed by a further five minutes of introduction of the speakers.)
