KembaraXtra- Financial Terms- Accounting Standards Board (ASB) was formerly the recognized body responsible for setting accounting standards in the United Kingdom. It played a major role in financial reporting regulation.
The ASB was established in 1990 to replace the earlier Accounting Standards Committee (ASC). Its main objective was to improve the quality and consistency of accounting standards.
One of the ASB’s key responsibilities was issuing Financial Reporting Standards (FRS), which provided guidance on accounting treatment and financial disclosure practices.
The board also issued reports known as Abstracts through its specialized body, the Urgent Issues Task Force. These reports addressed emerging accounting issues requiring quick clarification.
In 2012, the ASB was abolished, and responsibility for accounting standards was transferred to the Financial Reporting Council (FRC). Other functions were assumed by the Accounting Council.
