Answer:

The correct anwer is B. A proposed accounting standards update.

Explanation:

Each time it is intended to make a modification to the accounting standards, it is necessary for the FASB to publish a proposal to update accounting standards (ASU), with the main objective of making known the proposed changes. In certain cases, after a process of presenting, receiving and arranging comments from the users of the information, the application of the standard is given free access.

According to current regulations, each ASU explains:

  • How the FASB has changed the US GAAP, including each specific amendment to the FASB Coding.
  • Why the FASB decided to change the US GAAP and the background information related to the change.
  • When the changes will be effective and the transition method.
