SEC's Kroeker Questions IFRS 'Option;' Staff Reports on IFRS Coming
In remarks at FEI’s Current Financial Reporting Issues (CFRI) conference earlier today, SEC Chief Accountant Jim Kroeker, appeared to indicate he would personally question whether to offer an ‘option’ for U.S. public companies to report in IFRS, vs. a firm requirement to do so over a transition period, if the SEC were to move in that direction.  Note 1: this was my take on one point raised by Kroeker; see disclaimer posted on the right side of this blog, read his verbatim quote below. Note 2:  my use of the phrase 'report in IFRS' may be an overly short-hand reference, since the more recent thinking of the SEC, as discussed in its Staff Paper on 'Condorsement' released in May 2011, focuses on the incorporation of IFRS into the U.S. financial reporting system via ongoing endorsement of IFRS by the FASB, and that concept, combined with comments filed with the SEC today by the Financial Accounting Foundation (which oversees the FASB) may - the operative term being, may - indicate a more gradual move to 'incorporating' IFRS into U.S. GAAP, perhaps lessening the potential impact of an on-off 'switch' from U.S. GAAP to IFRS.
