Desafios e benefícios do IFRS para os EUA

Por Pedro Correia

A SEC anunciou que no dia 7 de julho promoverá um encontro para discutir os benefícios e desafios da potencial incorporação do IFRS nos EUA.

Segue parte do comunicado da SEC:

"The July 7 event will feature three panels representing investors, smaller public companies, and regulators. The panel discussions will focus on topics such as investor understanding of IFRS and the impact on smaller public companies and on the regulatory environment of incorporating IFRS.

“We must carefully consider and deliberate whether incorporating IFRS into our financial reporting system is in the best interest of U.S. investors and markets,” said SEC Chief Accountant James Kroeker. “This roundtable will provide an excellent opportunity for investors, preparers, and regulators to provide the SEC staff with valuable information that will help the Commission in its ongoing consideration of incorporating IFRS.”
