Remarks At The 34th Annual SEC And Financial Reporting Institute Conference, James Schnurr, Chief Accountant, Office Of The Chief Accountant, Pasadena, California, June 5, 2015

Date 05/06/2015

Introduction

Thank you for both the kind introduction and the invitation to speak with you today. Before I begin, let me remind you that the views expressed today are my own and not necessarily those of the Commission, the individual Commissioners, or other colleagues on the Commission staff.

As most of you probably know, I am fortunate to have three deputy chief accountants and a chief counsel that assist me in executing the responsibilities of OCA: Julie Erhardt oversees our International Group, Wes Bricker is responsible for our Accounting Group, Brian Croteau supervises our Professional Practice Group and Jeff Minton is my Chief Counsel. As you can imagine, each of these groups have very differing priorities, but all are important to the SEC’s mission. Today, I would like to share my thoughts and perspectives on some of our key priorities — IFRS, the new revenue recognition standard, a future concept release on Audit Committees and the PCAOB’s standard setting activities.
