The changing landscape of IFRS
We are offering this global webcast twice in 24 hours. Please see below for details and register for the webcast that best fits your scheduling needs.
The last 12 months have turned the spotlight on accounting standards and the International Accounting Standards Board's (IASB) activities. The IASB has come under increasing pressure from governments and regulators around the world - particularly in Europe - as many now place accounting reform at the top of the agenda. Much of the debate has focused on the complexity of accounting standards and the use of fair value, and also whether accounting standards "amplified" the financial crisis or did not go far enough in reporting its effects.
In January 2009, the IASB, together with the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), formed a group to independently consider the implications of the financial crisis on accounting standards. This group - the Financial Crisis Advisory Group (FCAG) - issued its report in July recommending actions for both of the Boards, other policymakers and financial statements users.
Join Lynda Tomkins, a member of Ernst & Young's Global IFRS Services team, and our panel of experienced Ernst & Young professionals as they take a look at these pressures on the IASB’s activities, the recommendations of the FCAG, the resulting impact on the IASB’s agenda and what this means for the future of IFRS.
Our panel includes, amongst others:
-
James S. Turley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ernst & Young LLP
-
Ruth Picker, Leader, IFRS Services, Ernst & Young Global Limited
