Financial Accounting Series
Most publications issued by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board as part of its standards-setting process comprise the
Financial Accounting Series, which is available under The FASB Subscription (see below). Documents issued by the FASB are:
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards establish new
standards or amend those previously issued.
Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts set forth
fundamentals on which future financial accounting and reporting
standards will be based.
Interpretations clarify, explain, or elaborate on FASB
Statements, Accounting Research Bulletins, or APB Opinions.
Technical Bulletins are staff documents that provide
guidance on implementation and practice problems.
Exposure Documents are proposed Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards or proposed Interpretations issued for public
comment prior to adoption.
Discussion Memorandums and Invitations to Comment
are documents issued on major topics for public comment, both in
writing and, at times, at a public hearing.
Research Reports and Special Reports are
occasionally published based on work undertaken by the FASB staff
or by others in conjunction with the Board. Special Reports include
question-and-answer implementation guides.
The FASB Report is a monthly newsletter that includes developments in the standard-setting process and the status of technical projects.

ORIGINAL PRONOUNCEMENTS AND CURRENT TEXT
Annual Bound Editions
The FASB’s Original Pronouncements and Current Text accounting standards are compiled and published each year in two sets of bound paperback volumes.
Order 2005-2006 Annual Bound Editions
- Original Pronouncements (three volumes)—contains all pronouncements in an “as amended” format, including FASB Statements of Standards, Concepts Statements, Interpretations, Technical Bulletins, and FASB Staff Positions, and AICPA APB Opinions, Interpretations, and Accounting Research Bulletins. In this format, all pronouncements amended by subsequent pronouncements reflect those amendments. Pronouncements that have been superseded but may still be applied by some entities are shaded to indicate that they have been superseded. Completely superseded pronouncements that may no longer be applied are omitted from this bound edition; however, a Status page is retained for those omitted pronouncements.
- Current Text (two volumes)—is an integration of the financial accounting and reporting standards included in the Original Pronouncements, arranged by topic for general and industry standards.
Order 2005-2006 Annual Bound Editions
Loose-leaf Format
Both the Original Pronouncements and Current Text are available as loose-leaf services that are updated as new pronouncements are issued. Subscribers to the Original Pronouncements loose-leaf service, which includes all pronouncements as originally issued, also receive The FASB Report newsletter, and notifications about new FASB Exposure Drafts, Discussion Memorandums, and Invitations to Comment posted on the FASB website.
