Washington, D.C., Aug. 27, 2008 — The Securities and Exchange Commission
today voted to publish for public comment a proposed Roadmap that could lead
to the use of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) by U.S.
issuers beginning in 2014. Currently, U.S. issuers use U.S. Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). The Commission would make a
decision in 2011 on whether adoption of IFRS is |

发帖数: 68 | 8 No worry, I did this topic in one of my accounting class. It will take at
least several years for IFRS in US, and CPE is for the people who already
got US CPA at that time, no need to worry about the CPA license. |

Forget IFRS, let's talk about US GAAP. How many CPAs actually know, let's
say, 10% of FASB's? Not to mention all other GAAP pronuncements.
IFRS is largely derived from US GAAP and the basic principles behind the two
GAAPs are largely similar. On areas where they have significant differences
, either US GAAP is going to be simplified to IFRS --- e.g. elimination of
LIFO, QSPE, or FASB and IASB are going to write a new one together, e.g.

发帖数: 220 | 10 There is no IFRS test center in USA right now. I don't worry about exams.
So many counties have adopted or decided to adopt IFRS. Adopting of IFRS in
multinational corporations is a tendency to make the consolidation
consistent and comparable . Besides, US GAAP can be leaning toward IFRS. I
don't think the IFRS roadmap will change the accounting dramatically.
I am hoping it will explore business opportunities to Big 4s. It is better
to keep an eye on it. |
