  • Comment On The Financial Accounting Foundation Draft Strategic Plan: SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, SEC Commissioner Mark T. Uyeda, July 22, 2022

    Date 25/07/2022

    Dear Ms. Casey and Mr. Auchincloss:

          Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Strategic Plan Draft for Public Comment (“Draft Plan”) of the Financial Accounting Foundation (“FAF”).  We share the FAF’s commitment to independent, objective standard-setting for financial accounting and reporting.  High quality financial accounting and reporting standards are central to the success of the United States’ capital markets.  Accordingly, we write to urge the FAF to approach with care Goal #6: “Engage with stakeholders, regulators, and Congress to determine the appropriate way, if any, for the organization to contribute to future sustainability reporting.”  Introducing sustainability standard-setting to the FAF runs the risk of degrading the independence and effectiveness that are the hallmarks of the FAF’s two standard-setting boards, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”).
