Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts (SFAC) are intended to establish the objectives and concepts that the Financial Accounting Standards Bord will use in developing standards of financial accounting and reporting. The Fianancial Accounting Standards Board expects to reexamine its pronouncements，pronouncements of predecessor standard-setting bodies，and existing financial reporting practice in the light of newly enunciated objectives and concepts. Now that the conceptual framework is complete enough to use，it is appropriate to assess generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP)in accordance with the expectations of the FASB.This paper examines Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS)No.109，"Accounting for Income Taxes"，within the context of the conceptual framework.
