I vaguely recall that the IASB does have a role in appointing members, but that seems more administrative than a primary purpose.

I remember practicing a question about the IASB's role, and I think it was about aligning standards, but that might be more of a secondary purpose.

Developing a single set of high-quality, enforceable global accounting standards - that's the core purpose of the IASB, if I remember correctly. I'm feeling good about that being the right answer.

I think the IASB is responsible for aligning US standards with international standards, but I'm not 100% certain that's their primary purpose. I'll review the key information about the IASB before answering this question.

Monitoring the IASB's effectiveness, as in option D, is more of a secondary function. The main goal is to set those global accounting standards.
