The Committee on Accounting Procedure was a predecessor of the Accounting Principles Board, itself a predecessor to the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the United States. Its formation and activities were early efforts to rationalize and legitimize the reporting of business performance. However, it is widely regarded as having failed.

George O. May was vice chairman of the committee from 1937 to 1945.[1]
