Why was the CAP replaced by the APB? What were APB Opinions? What was the controversy regarding the investment tax credit and what role did the SEC play in this disclosure?

Expert Solution

CAP had only limited success because it did not develop an overall accounting framework, but rather, acted upon specific problems as they arose. In 1959, the AICPA replaced CAP with the Accounting Principles Board (APB), which issued 31 opinions and 4 statements until it was dissolved in 1973.

An APB opinion is an authoritative pronouncement issued by the Accounting Principles Board. The official opinions were given on various accounting issues that required clarification or interpretation. The APB listed 31 separate opinions during its existence from 1962 to 1973.

Not all of the Colonists were ardent supporters of the Revolution. Comment on the opinions of this present-day British Loyalist. It's quite provocative stuff. But before you jump on the Loyalist Bandwagon (as many of my students from past semesters have), keep in mind the perspective of the writer. What are his or her prejudices? Take note of the country of origin of this website. Should we take what he or she is saying with a grain of salt?
