About the seminar
...................................................................................
In spite of the convergence movement embarked upon by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) of the United States, there are still specific and noteworthy differences between the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) that may have an impact on financial statements prepared under either system. With the globalization of the business environment and the extensive reach of cross-border investments and international finance, knowledge of these two primary accounting regimes is valuable and necessary to preparers, global investors, bankers and stakeholders.
This seminar not only reviews but also illustrates the major differences between the standards issued by the IASB and those issued by the FASB of the United States.
This seminar provides:
• An in-depth review of the major differences between IFRS and SFAS relating to specific accounting areas
• Generous use of illustrations and examples to show the impact on financial statements under the different requirements of the IFRS and SFAS
• An analysis of the on-going convergence movement and future directions
