SEC e IASB

A SEC possui um cargo de Deputy Chief Accountant (International). Basicamente ele cuida das questões internacionais da entidade, o que inclui o Iasb. A SEC anunciou agora a nomeação de Paul Munter para o cargo.

Ele possui PhD pelo Colorado. Mas dois pontos interessantes no comunicado:

a) foi funcionário de uma Big Four, como tem sido praxe nestes conselhos
b) ele é daqueles que vão e voltam:

"I am truly grateful that Paul has agreed to return to the Office of the Chief Accountant to play a key role on international matters," said SEC Chief Accountant Sagar Teotia. "As many know, international matters are an area of critical focus and significant priority to our office. Paul's extensive background in various international areas will be extremely valuable as we continue to advance improvements in international accounting and auditing matters."

"I am honored to have the opportunity to return to work at the Commission and I am excited to serve with the professionals in the Office of the Chief Accountant who have deep expertise and experience on international matters. I also look forward to working with our foreign counterparts to continue to advance high-quality financial reporting on behalf of investors," said Mr. Munter.
