Reilly, a member of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, have each have been re-elected to those respective posts by the Financial Accounting Foundation, overseer of both FASB and GASB.

Trott, who joined FASB in 1999 from Big Four firm KPMG, where he was a partner, will serve a five-year term.
