The Securities and Exchange Commission will convene a roundtable meeting in two weeks to gather input on the current state of filing financial statements using International Financial Reporting Standards, as the Commission slogs ahead with plans to harmonize IFRS and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles by the end of the decade.
The meeting, to be held March 6, will bring together SEC staffers from the Office of the Chief Accountant, the Division of Corporation Finance, and the Office of International Affairs. It will be open to the public, and the Commission welcomes input from market participants who have an interest in IFRS and the “roadmap” to convergence with U.S. GAAP by 2009.
