"The early years of the ASB transformed concepts and practice in financial reporting, setting an example that was followed globally. The authors of The UK Accounting Standards Board, 1990-2000 led this transformation; there is nobody better to tell the story." - Prof. Richard Barker, Member, International Sustainability Standards Board
"We all have a clear interest in company accounts painting a true picture of their financial position, which in the 1980s they often did not. The three authors of The UK Accounting Standards Board 1990-2000 paint a personal and fascinating picture of how they succeeded in radically reforming standards, dealt with technical and political challenges, overcame opposition and established the independence of the standard setting board." - Sir Bryan Nicholson GBE, Deputy Chairman of the Financial Reporting Council, 1993 96 and Chairman 2001-5
"The interview format used in The UK Accounting Standards Board,1990-2000: Restoring Honesty and Trust in Accounting by Tweedie, Cook and Whittington brings a stimulating period of accounting standards history to life. The authors' innovative ideas on accounting have stood the test of time." - Pauline Wallace, Chair, UK Endorsement Board
"This is a book to be savoured by anyone with an interest in business and of course those with an interest in financial reporting standards and indeed wider standard setting. It clearly highlights the pressures faced by such bodies as they seek to establish and maintain their independence, and gain acceptance for their proposals from a wide range of stakeholders - no easy task!" - James Barbour, Director, Policy Leadership, ICAS Accounting
"One of the most engaging business books you are likely to come across. [...] The Three Musketeers of the old Accounting Standards Board (ASB), David Tweedie, Allan Cook and Geoff Whittington, transformed UK accounting and financial reporting during that spirited age, and here chat about how it was done. The whole enterprise was anchored by Geoff Meeks, emeritus professor of financial accounting at Judge Business School, who provides masterful accounts of all the issues and how they were resolved, or not." - Robert Bruce, Journalist and Accounting Commentator, review appearing in AB Magazine, August 2023
