FASB: Update of print edition of FASB Accounting Standards Codification®
16 February 2012
The FAF released an updated print edition of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification®, the single, authoritative source of US GAAP for public and private companies, not-for-profits and other non-governmental organisations.
The new four-volume bound edition of the FASB Codification contains all of the content of the online Codification as of October 31, 2011.
The annual bound edition of the Codification is intended to be used as a reference tool in conjunction with the always-current online Codification available at https://asc.fasb.org.
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification® reorganises the thousands of US GAAP pronouncements, excluding governmental accounting standards, into roughly 90 accounting Topics, and displays all Topics using a consistent structure. It also includes relevant SEC guidance that follows the same topical structure in separate sections in the Codification.
The Codification is indexed by the following volumes:

Volume 1 also contains standards relating to General Principles (Topic 105), Presentation (Topics 205 through 280), Assets (Topics 305 through 360), Liabilities (Topics 405 through 480), and Equity (Topic 505).
