Order Regarding Review of FASB
Accounting Support Fee For 2015
Under Section 109 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
‘‘Act’’) provides that the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) may recognize, as
generally accepted for purposes of the
securities laws, any accounting
principles established by a standard
setting body that meets certain criteria.
Consequently, Section 109 of the Act
provides that all of the budget of such
a standard setting body shall be payable
from an annual accounting support fee
assessed and collected against each
issuer, as may be necessary or
appropriate to pay for the budget and
provide for the expenses of the standard
setting body, and to provide for an
independent, stable source of funding,
subject to review by the Commission.
Under Section 109(f) of the Act, the
amount of fees collected for a fiscal year
shall not exceed the ‘‘recoverable budget
expenses’’ of the standard setting body.
Section 109(h) amends Section 13(b)(2)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
to require issuers to pay the allocable
share of a reasonable annual accounting
support fee or fees, determined in
accordance with Section 109 of the Act.
On April 25, 2003, the Commission
issued a policy statement concluding
that the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (‘‘FASB’’) and its parent
organization, the Financial Accounting
Foundation (‘‘FAF’’), satisfied the
criteria for an accounting standardsetting body under the Act, and
recognizing the FASB’s financial
accounting and reporting standards as
‘‘generally accepted’’ under Section 108
of the Act.1 As a consequence of that
recognition, the Commission undertook
a review of the FASB’s accounting
support fee for calendar year 2015. In
1 Financial
Reporting Release No. 70.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
connection with its review, the
Commission also reviewed the budget
for the FAF and the FASB for calendar
year 2015.
Section 109 of the Act also provides
that the standard setting body can have
additional sources of revenue for its
activities, such as earnings from sales of
publications, provided that each
additional source of revenue shall not
jeopardize, in the judgment of the
Commission, the actual or perceived
independence of the standard setter. In
this regard, the Commission also
considered the interrelation of the
operating budgets of the FAF, the FASB,
and the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (‘‘GASB’’), the FASB’s
sister organization, which sets
accounting standards used by state and
local government entities. The
Commission has been advised by the
FAF that neither the FAF, the FASB, nor
the GASB accept contributions from the
accounting profession.
The Commission understands that the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) has determined the FASB’s
spending of the 2015 accounting
support fee is sequestrable under the
Budget Control Act of 2011.2 So long as
sequestration is applicable, we
anticipate that the FAF will work with
the Commission and Commission staff
as appropriate regarding its
implementation of sequestration.
After its review, the Commission
determined that the 2015 annual
accounting support fee for the FASB is
consistent with Section 109 of the Act.
Accordingly,
It is ordered, pursuant to Section 109
of the Act, that the FASB may act in
accordance with this determination of
the Commission.
By the Commission.
Brent J. Fields,
Secretary.
