Abstract: Recent developments suggest that the United States may be quickly moving toward adopting International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In November 2007, the SEC eliminated the requirement for foreign registrants who submit financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to reconcile their statements to U.S. GAAP. In May 2008, the AICPA voted to add the IASB to the approved list of accounting standards-setting bodies, effectively giving private companies the option to use IFRS.
