SEC Proposes Roadmap Toward
Global Accounting Standards
On August 27, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced a
proposed Roadmap that could lead to the use of International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) by U.S. issuers beginning in 2014. Currently,
U.S. issuers use U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The
Commission would make a decision in 2011 on whether adoption of IFRS is in
the public interest and would benefit investors.
