Since IFRS have become widely accepted around the world, U.S. companies have been cognizant on the effects of a possible pending adoption. Among these are issues concerning the transition from GAAP to IFRS, tax reporting, tax accounting, and other matters pertaining to an organization’s financial reporting system. The question that arises now is, are U.S. companies ready to adopt these standards? And more importantly how would this scenario play out.
