摘要: 

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are meant to become a single set of high quality accounting standards of global applicability for public companies. Although many countries have moved and are moving toward IFRS, there are actually several approaches to the entire question of IFRS adoption.

This paper provides a discussion and critique of three of the possible approaches, setting out preliminary case studies of Canada (Endorsement), the United States (“Condorsement”) and the Peoples’ Republic of China (Convergence). It is the intent of the author of this early working paper to extend this analysis into a comprehensive analysis and critique, drawing on public documents and the results of empirical research as to the market and practical implications of these approaches.
