FASB NAMES NEW MEMBERS TO ITS SMALL BUSINESS ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Norwalk, CT, April 30, 2018—The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) today announced the appointment of three new members to its Small Business Advisory Committee (SBAC).

The SBAC serves as a standing resource for the FASB. Its role is to provide focused input and feedback from a small public company perspective, considering whether there are differences in that input for small public versus private company perspectives, and assist the FASB and its staff on matters for which the FASB may seek guidance.
The new members of the SBAC are:

  • K. Scott Gray, senior vice president and chief financial officer, Luby’s, Inc.
  • Dominick Kerr, director—global accounting practice, Connor Group
  • Ryan LaFond, partner and deputy chief investment officer, Algert Global.

“Scott Gray, Dominick Kerr, and Ryan LaFond each brings to the SBAC valuable experience within the small business sector as well as a commitment to improving financial reporting,” stated FASB Chairman Russell G. Golden. “On behalf of the FASB, I am pleased to welcome them to their new roles.”
