Japão irá adotar a IFRS

Segundo notícia da Jiji Press (Japan Considers International Accounting Standards, 4/9/2008) o Japão está considerando a possibilidade de adotar as normas internacionais para prevenir que o país fique isolado.

Japan has been working to resolve gaps between Japanese and international standards by 2011, while maintaining its own standards. But the SEC proposal prompted Japanese officials to move away from standards unique to Japan.

There has already been a broad agreement in Japan to get international standards start with consolidated earnings reports.
