Case one:
Intergovernmental working group of experts on international
standards of accounting and reporting
1. What are International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)?
2. Many concerns are expressed in this article. List three factors
that you think
are causing concern about the impact of adoption of IFRS.
3. Consider each of the three factors you mentioned in response to
question 2.
(a) Is there empirical evidence to support the factor?
(b) Is the analysis leading from the factor to the concerns about
adoption
of IFRS scientific or naturalistic in its approach? Explain your
answer.
Case two:
1. On 1 January 2005 Australia adopted IASB standards.
(a) Do you agree with this change? Why or why not?
(b) Who stands to gain from Australia’s adoption of IASB
standards?
Explain.
(c) Who stands to lose from Australia’s adoption of IASB
standards?
Explain.
From 1 January 2005 the AASB will issue Australian equivalents to
IFRS.
This process involves the AASB issuing IASB exposure drafts as
exposure
drafts in Australia. Constituents can provide comments on standards
to the
AASB and IASB. Final standards issued by the IASB are
subsequently
issued in Australia with any additional paragraphs necessary to
make the
standards suitable for public sector and not-for-profit
entities.
