SEC irá revelar o cronograma para IFRS

Fofoca? Para CFO (SEC to Reveal IFRS Start Dates This Week, Sarah Johnson, 25/08/2008) parece que agora a SEC irá propor um cronograma para adoção da IFRS nos Estados Unidos:

On Wednesday, the Securities and Exchange Commission will propose a date for U.S. companies to be allowed to convert to international financial reporting standards.

The long-awaited deadline will come in the form of a roadmap that the SEC commissioners will consider whether to propose — and which would open up the conversion date to public scrutiny and debate.

The SEC also plans to consider proposing amendments to various rules and forms that would allow "a limited number of U.S. issuers" to prepare their financial statements using IFRS rather than GAAP earlier than the roadmap proposes, the commission announced on Friday.
