Webinar

This webinar is designed to help demystify the recent frenzy in the financial press about if and when U.S. generally accepted accounting principles might be discontinued in favor of adoption of international financial reporting standards (IFRS). Among the topics covered are:

How and why the SEC is pushing for IFRS
GAAP vs. IFRS – How different are they?
Effects of convergence on private companies
"IFRS for Private Entities", is this available "Little GAAP"?
Developing and implementing a proactive action plan

After participating in this webinar you will be able to:

Assess whether, when, and how a switch to IFRS may affect your organization
Consider the appropriateness of full IFRS or "IFRS for Private Entities" as an alternative to U.S. GAAP or full IFRS for qualifying entities
Explain the major conceptual differences in approach and technical difference in selected topic areas between US GAAP and IFRS
Develop and implement an action plan to proactively prepare to address the most likely changes that will occur
