The Financial Accounting Standards Board appointed Jack Ciesielski and Brandon Coleman to its emerging issues task force (EITF). Ciesielski is a certified public accountant and a chartered financial analyst and the founder of R.G. Associates. Coleman is a partner in national office accounting and reporting services at Deloitte.

“I am pleased to welcome Jack Ciesielski and Brandon Coleman as members of the EITF,” Hillary H. Salo, chair of the EITF and technical director of the FASB, said. “They both bring to the EITF strong financial reporting backgrounds and diverse professional expertise, which will further enhance our discussions on important financial reporting matters.”

The EITF assists the FASB in improving financial reporting through the identification, discussion and resolution of financial accounting issues. Members are chosen from a cross section of FASB stakeholders, including users of financial statements, public accounting firms and preparers of financial statements.

Ciesielski will fill a new seat on the EITF. He previously served on the EITF from 2003 to 2008. Coleman will fill the seat vacated by Jeff Nickell, who is also a partner at Deloitte.

“On behalf of the FASB, I want to thank Jeff Nickell for his exceptional service to the EITF,” Salo said. “His input helped the EITF improve financial reporting for those applying accounting standards.”
