Author/Moderator: Leah Donti, CMA, MBA
Recommended CPE Credit: 18

IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) is becoming a reality in the United States. Foreign publicly-held companies, including those with subsidiaries in the U.S., can already file financial statements with the SEC using IFRS. In addition, the SEC is expected to make a decision soon allowing U.S. publiclyheld companies to also file financial statements using IFRS. We recognize your need for proper and timely training and are ready to assist you in providing this crucial education.

This course prepares accountants for these upcoming changes and will help you solidify your knowledge of the similarities and differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP. Even if your knowledge is limited, a brief recap of the important points is provided at the beginning of the course to help get you up to speed.
