· Accounting Standards Review Board: Appointments
·
· Minister of Commerce Lianne Dalziel today
announced the appointment of a Chair, Deputy Chair and two
new members to the Accounting Standards Review Board
(ASRB).
·
· The new chair will be former Financial
Reporting Standards Board chair Liz Hickey, while ASRB
member John Spencer takes over as Deputy Chair. Ken Warren
and Garry Downs are the new members, with Mr Downs becoming
the body's lawyer. The changes take effect from February
17, with the exception of Mr Warren, who joined the ASRB in
November last year.
·
· “The ASRB is entering an
interesting and challenging period of its history, with the
adoption of international accounting standards changing the
emphasis for New Zealand bodies from setting standards to
influencing international standards. The ASRB has a key
role to play in this and in managing the transition period,”
Lianne Dalziel
said.
