Exposure drafts outstanding.


Exposure Drafts Outstanding

(This list was compiled as of April 1, 2005. For exposure drafts
issued after that date, consult The CPA Letter. Note: The policy
for updating the list of exposure drafts is that a document
should remain on the list until a final document has been issued
or the project has been dropped. However, no comments will be
received after the comments deadline has expired.

The list is not all-inclusive but is intended to present the
exposure drafts of particular interest to professional accountants.)
