The Institute strives to develop dynamic forward-looking financial accounting and reporting standards for commerce and industry, and a return to sound fundamental accounting and reporting principles for monetary financial institutions to safeguard the economic well-being of the nation. Vision Resistance to change is pervasive. John Maynard Keynes famously argued that what prevents society from creating positive futures is not a shortage of good ideas but our inability to let go of the past. Historical financial accounting and reporting is through the rear-view mirror. The Institute joins the International Institute of CPAs in promoting forward-looking and dynamic, instead of static, financial accounting, auditing and reporting standards to enable and assist creditors, lenders, regulators, the financial markets and the public to make prudent investment decisions.
