Briefly explain the mission or focus of the two organization


Project Homework: Where do the rules come from? Who impacts accounting?

Throughout your studies, you have heard of the "big names" of the organizations that impact accounting. But what do they really do? How do you know what the hot topics are? How are they influenced? What do they have to do with the financial reports you have been studying all quarter? How could this impact how financial reports are produced? For example, consider how a change in the way leases are recognized may impact the liabilities on a balance sheet and expenses on an income statement (which would then impact owner's equity).

For Project, select two of the organizations below and write a 2 to 3 pages paper in which you: The two I choose are SEC and IIA

FASB

PCAOB

GASB

SEC

COSO

IFRS

AICPA

IMA

IIA
