On September 22, 2021, ISDA submitted a letter to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in response to its agenda consultation. ISDA’s members welcome the opportunity to assist the FASB in deciding where to focus its standard-setting efforts and believe there are a number of pervasive issues that have arisen in recent years due to changes in the market that were not originally contemplated when developing US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
