Summary


Are you concerned about the cost and complexity of adopting international financial reporting standards (IFRS)?

If so, you're not alone, given the Securities and Exchange Commission's proposed timeline for all publicly-traded American firms to move to IFRS within the next seven years. According to a recent survey, senior executives with U.S.-based companies expect greater challenges with adopting IFRS than their European counterparts.

The upshot? Companies that recognize and address these challenges now will not only achieve a successful transition to a new accounting standard; they will also possess a measurable advantage over competitors that do not.

During this webcast, you will:

  • Hear the findings of a survey of senior executives from major U.S. companies about how they perceive the challenges of moving to IFRS;

  • Learn how companies outside the U.S. successfully adopted IFRS while enhancing business processes; and

  • Discover best practices you can apply as you prepare your company for the transition to IFRS.
