6 Questions
Question 1
Which of the following is identified as a fundamental qualitative characteristic of
useful financial information in the FASB Conceptual Framework?
A. Comparability
B. Verifiability
C. Relevance
D. Timeliness
Correct Answer: C. Relevance
Rationale: The FASB Conceptual Framework (ASC 105) identifies two fundamental qualitative
characteristics: relevance and faithful representation. Relevance means the information can
make a difference in user decisions by having predictive value, confirmatory value, or both.
Comparability, verifiability, timeliness, and understandability are enhancing qualitative
characteristics that build upon the two fundamental qualities.

Question 2
Under GAAP hierarchy, which of the following represents the highest authority for
financial reporting standards?
A. FASB Technical Bulletins
B. AICPA Accounting Research Bulletins
C. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
D. IFRS issued by the IASB
Correct Answer: C. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)
Rationale: The FASB Accounting Standards Codification is the single source of authoritative
U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities, established by FASB Statement 168 (2009). All other
sources (FASB Staff Positions, APB Opinions, AICPA Accounting Research Bulletins) are codified
within the ASC. IFRS is not authoritative for U.S. domestic reporting unless the SEC permits its
use. The Codification organizes accounting standards by topic (e.g., ASC 606 for Revenue, ASC
330 for Inventory).

Question 3
Which enhancing qualitative characteristic of financial reporting is best described as
the quality that allows users to identify and understand similarities and differences
