IFRS (for members in Australia)
| Event: | ACCA’s early and enthusiastic support for a single set of global accounting standards has historically set it apart from other professional bodies. Today, convergence is also a matter of policy at the highest possible level, with the G20 calling for it explicitly in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008-9. However, the road ahead is far from clear, and like most supporters of IFRS we found the last year to be quite frustrating. As we look forward to progress in 2013, it is a good opportunity to review the impact (real and anticipated) of IFRS adoption on the world’s three largest economies – the European Union, the United States and China. This webinar will be based on the findings of four ACCA-commissioned research studies published between 2008 and 2012. Part I IFRS in USA IFRS in Europe Part II IFRS in China Towards greater convergence |
