Convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS

In 2002, FASB and IASB agreed to work together toward the convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Since then, there has been a convergence of these two sets of accounting standards.

Throughout the book, accounting differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS will be highlighted in the IFRS Perspective sidebar.
