Description

In this course we discuss the efforts of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Board (IASB) to work together to converge U.S. accounting standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) specifically as it relates to income tax accounting.

We also discuss in detail the current technical agendas of the FASB and IASB for income tax accounting as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission’s potential rulemaking that may include an optimal and mandatory conversion to IFRSs for U.S. public companies.
