FAF revamps FASB website

The Financial Accounting Foundation has overhauled the website for the Financial Accounting Standards Board, with new websites in the works for the Governmental Accounting Standards Board and the FAF itself in the weeks ahead.

The FAF oversees FASB, GASB and the Private Company Council. The new website designs offer streamlined navigation, a simpler menu structure, a better looking and more intuitive design, an improved search algorithm, and more prominent placement of the most essential information stakeholders are seeking. A cross-organizational group of representatives from FASB, GASB, and the FAF's publishing, IT, legal, administration and communications teams worked through most of last year to create the new sites. 

"We are pleased to provide to FASB stakeholders the first of our three new websites," said FAF executive director John Auchincloss in a statement Tuesday. "We are confident that they will appreciate the many improvements we made and how much easier it is to access important information. We know how much our stakeholders want to get the information they need from us as quickly as possible. We believe our redesigned websites will deliver a better, faster and more intuitive experience to all our users."
