A CFO.com (SEC Names Kroeker Chief Accountant, Sarah Johnson, 25/8/2009) lembrou que recentemente Kroeker defendeu as regras de valor justo. O outro ponto relevante na agenda contábil da SEC, a convergência internacional, ainda permanece em aberto. Sob a administração de Cox, nomeado pelo então presidente Bush, a SEC propôs um planejamento para a convergência até 2016. Mas a atual presidente, Mary Schapiro, questiona isto e tem reservas sobre a qualidade das IFRS e a independência dos reguladores, conforme aponta a CFO:
While Kroeker has not publicly shared his views on the plan itself, Schapiro has said she "will not be bound by the existing roadmap" and expressed reservations about the quality of IFRS and the independence of its standard-setters.
As a practical matter, considering the time that has gone by and the change in SEC priorities because of the financial crisis, the timetable outlined in the IFRS roadmap will mostly likely shift, says White.
