The Financial and Sustainability Reporting Standards Council (FSRSC) was established by the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) under the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Philippine Accountancy Act of 2004 to assist the Board of Accountancy (BOA) in carrying out its power and function to promulgate accounting standards in the Philippines. The FSRSC’s main function is to establish generally accepted accounting principles in the Philippines.

The FSRSC is the successor of the Accounting Standards Council (ASC). The ASC was created in November 1981 by the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) to establish generally accepted accounting principles in the Philippines. The FSRSC carries on the decision made by the ASC to converge Philippine accounting standards with international accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The FSRSC has full discretion in developing and pursuing the technical agenda for setting accounting standards in the Philippines. Financial support is received principally from the PICPA Foundation.

The FSRSC monitors the technical activities of the IASB and invites comments on exposure drafts of proposed IFRSs as these are issued by the IASB. When finalized, these are adopted as Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRSs). The FSRSC similarly monitors issuances of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB, which it adopts as Philippine Interpretations. PFRSs and Philippine Interpretations approved for adoption are submitted to the BOA and PRC for approval.

Our relationship with the PIC

The FSRSC formed the Philippine Interpretations Committee (PIC) in August 2006 to assist the FSRSC in establishing and improving financial reporting standards in the Philippines. The role of the PIC is principally to issue implementation guidance on PFRSs. The PIC Members are appointed by the FSRSC and include accountants in public practice, the academe and regulatory bodies and users of financial statements. The PIC replaced the Interpretations Committee created by the ASC in 2000.
