    The International Accounting Standards Committee was formed in 1973. This committee was the first international standard-setting body. In early 2001, this Committee was reorganized and became the the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to independently develop and establish a single set of accounting procedures for international business. Since the reorganization of the IASB, the use of these international financial reporting standards (IFRSs) have been required or permitted in over 100 countries, including the European Union ("What Have IASB And FASB Convergence Efforts Achieved?", 2013).

    The generally accepted accounting principal (GAAP) and international financial reporting standard (IFRS) are standards governing how economic events are reported. In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relies on the FASB, the accounting standard-setting body of the US, to develop accounting standards that public companies must follow when publishing financial statements. On the other hand, many countries outside of the Unite States have adopted the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) which is issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). In recent years, the FASB and IASB have worked closely to try to minimize the differences in their standards and principals and to merge the two systems in the future.…

    In 1973, the private sector International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) was formed. The IASB is a natural extension of a global market that has been evolving over the last three decades. The IASB formulates and publishes accounting standards to be observed when presenting financial statements and promote their global acceptance. As an overarching mission, the IASB works to improve and harmonize accounting standards, regulations, and procedures as it relates to financial statements. IASB standards provide a reference model and set of examples for financial reporting in developing countries. The IASB has no authority with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the United States at this time. Even though the FASB and SEC are not members of the ISAB, the SEC has ruled formally that public companies that have adopted the IASB standards can list their securities on the United States stock exchanges (Schroeder, Clark, & Cathey, Chapter 1, 2011).…
