Accounting Standards Review Board

Accounting Standards Review Board (ASRB) is a body set up to review and approve financial reporting standards in New Zealand. It was formed by the Financial Reporting Act of 1993

Famous quotes containing the words accounting, standards, review and/or board:

    “At the crash of economic collapse of which the rumblings can already be heard, the sleeping soldiers of the proletariat will awake as at the fanfare of the Last Judgment and the corpses of the victims of the struggle will arise and demand an accounting from those who are loaded down with curses.”
    —Karl Liebknecht (1871–1919)

    “In this nation I see tens of millions of its citizens, a substantial part of its whole population, who at this very moment are denied the greater part of what the very lowest standards of today call the necessities of life. I see one third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “As I review my life, I feel I must have missed the point, either then or now.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “And they heaved a mighty breath, every soul on board but me,
    As they saw her nose again pointing handsome out to sea;
    But all that I could think of, in the darkness and the cold,
    Was just that I was leaving home and my folks were growing old.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
