The Dealer Accounting Committee of the Securities Industry Association (SIA)* provides comments to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)on the Board’s proposal Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures, FSP SOP 78-9-a; and Investor’s Accounting for an Investment in a Limited Partnership When the Investor Is the Sole General Partner and the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, ETIC Issue No. 04-5. SIA’s Committee believes the proposal would not reflect the true economies of certain transactions; and further exacerbate differences among various consolidation models that currently exist.
