Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF) chairman
John Brennan said: “As the FASB continues its efforts to address
the many significant accounting and financial reporting issues both
here in the US and globally, Seidman’s depth of experience with
international and domestic financial reporting issues will enhance
our progress toward meeting the needs of all of our varied
constituents.”
Seidman’s appointment is widely supported by
the profession and by the US Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The FAF said it is also in process of
evaluating candidates for the two additional FASB seats and their
announcements are expected early this year.
