...investors should keep updating the differences between GAAP and IFRS to using IFRS numbers to make the best decision. To the U.S public companies, IFRS can enhance the liquidity of capital markets and reduce companies’ costs of capital. IFRS will have a substantial impact on the reporting quality of U.S. companies. U.S firms with operations around the world could potentially save a lot of money by avoiding the costs of translating their financial reports into several local accounting languages. On the costs side, adopting IFRS would require various upfront costs for companies. During a transition phase, companies would have to modify their accounting systems and processes as well as provide comparative financial information between their previous U.S. GAAP reports and their new IFRS-compliant reports. In addition, companies would have to train their employees and outside stakeholders such as analysts and investors in preparing and using IFRS numbers. Adopting IFRS in the U.S will be benefits to the auditors who work for Big Four or other multinational audit companies because these auditing giants have experience in implementing and working with IFRS reports and can rely on their global network...

...Case 5: Adopting International Accounting Standards Intro to International Business – 1. Both business enterprises and investors can benefit from the adoption of international accounting standards because they do not have to worry about losing money due to different exchange rates. In regards to business ventures, it will help in the long run with a systematic way to compare prices. Although the process is held up slightly for United States entrepreneurs, the process is still great. According to an article published by the NYTimes, “American companies must use rules established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, a group chosen by the S.E.C., and foreign companies that do not use international standards must reconcile their statements with the American rules before their securities can trade in American markets.” 2. Overstating a country wealth is one of the potentially negative risk associated with investing in a foreign country. A country could be worth 20 billion dollars according to their standards however, when invested in, it is only worth 10million American dollars. Such as when you are an internal user at a firm, you can easily access all correct financial data that is made available to investors and executives. External parties have to rely on information given to them by the company which could be falsified in regards to their financial statements. 3. The United States would cause revisions to the IASB accounting standards because they have general accepted...

...got a pit in my stomach waiting for my mom to get off the phone to tell Lauren and I what it was about. As soon as my mom got off the phone, she yelled, “Stella is ours!!!” We found out that the other family that wanted her decided not to get her so, she was ours if we wanted her! I saw houses and stores, fly by me as I looked out of the window. I was familiar with the surroundings because I remembered passing by them tons of times. It was finally time for us to get Stella and we were on our way over to the adoption center. That same pit came back into my stomach. I felt so nervous, but at the same time I was jumping with joy inside. I felt bad for my mom, though because there was a lot of extra stress on her since the whole “adopting a new dog” nonsense came up. “Just remember she is going to be very nervous,” my mom said about a million times. “ I know, I know,” I thought, but I just answered “Ok,” understanding what she was feeling. “Mom you said that for the fourth time know,” Lauren said annoyed. “Oh, ok sorry,” my mom responded back. It’s fine,” Lauren said. Earlier my mom asked who wanted Stella on their lap and I shouted “Me,me!” but right now I was starting to think otherwise because I forgot about the whole part where she might have an accident. Thankfully, I had a blanket on me just in case. We finally got there as my mom shifted into one of the front parking spots. I leaped out of the car and followed Lauren, into the shop. Right when I walked...

...The Qualitative Report Volume 14 Number 1 March 2009 42-60 http://www.nova.edu/ssss/QR/QR14-1/diaz-andrade.pdf Interpretive Research Aiming at Theory Building: Adopting and Adapting the Case Study Design Antonio Díaz Andrade The University of Auckland Business School, Auckland, New Zealand Although the advantages of case study design are widely recognised, its original positivist underlying assumptions may mislead interpretive researchers aiming at theory building. The paper discusses the limitations of the case study design for theory building and explains how grounded theory systemic process adds to the case study design. The author reflects upon his experience in conducting research on the articulation of both traditional social networks and new virtual networks in six rural communities in Peru, using both case study design and grounded theory in a combined fashion in order to discover an emergent theory. Key Words: Case Study, Interpretive Approach, Theory Building, and Grounded Theory Introduction Researchers adopting a case study design face a number of challenges in making their argument. Yin (2003) himself warns researchers who adopt a case study design to be conscious that their findings will be challenged and prefaces his book enumerating the alleged weaknesses in the case study; a methodology that downgrades the academic disciplines and lacks sufficient precision, objectivity, and rigour. We should note that those warnings come from an author who operates from...

...Challenges of adopting single currency in ASEAN However, assisting a single currency may be even more challenging than introducing it. Srinivasa Madhur (2002) indicate that ASEAN will encounter a number of limitations on the implementing of a single currency: the huge gap between the income level, insufficient of political policy and the weaknesses of financial sectors. First, there is a significant differences between the levels of economic development within the ASEAN countries. For instance, the per capita income of the worthiest country among the region, Singapore is 300 times contrast to the Myanmar, the poorest country in the region (Rorberto, 2004). As most of the ASEAN members came from middle or low-income countries, when common currency was introduced it will definitely hurt the poorer members like Myanmar. Take an example of Greece who currently suffer a debt crisis as it has adopted the single euro currency (Supalak, 2013). Yoong (2009) indicate that it is much difficulties to maintain a common monetary arrangement among these countries with such huge gap of income levels. A strong and robust financial systems and markets is a necessary requirements in order to sustain a common currency union (Madhur, Srinivasa, 2002). From the past 1997 financial crisis in Asian has exposed that there is not exists of region-wide organizations to deal with threats to the financial industry and a weak financial system could destroy an exchange rate regime such as a common currency...

...IAS-how the US is adopting a principle-based approach Introduction International Accounting Standards, IAS, is a term used in reference of a set of principles, guidelines and standards prepared by the International Accounting Standards Committee for the purpose of assisting business entities in ensuring that the information captured in their financial information is accurate and reliable (Vincent et al, 2003). This is achieved by highlighting how various accounting/financial activities and transactions are to be reflected during the preparation and presentation of these statements (Schipper, 2008). Even though the IASC doesn’t have any legal authority to compel organizations to comply with these standards while they are preparing their accounts, reports and statements, it usually collaborates with the governments of many countries, such as that of U.S, to ensure the enforcement of these principles. The setting of the IAS takes a principle-based approach considering that instead of formulating stringent rules to be complied by all entities, IASC provides a conceptual framework that is to be followed by all accountants and auditors while they are purporting their undertakings (Schipper, 2008). The U.S government has been agitating all firms, especially public entities, to embrace the principle-based approach as opposed to the rules based standards considering that the latter compromises the ability of accountants to exercise their judgments while preparing financial statements...

...Lastly, America needs to adopt universal health care because it will help take a tremendous weight of stress off of physicians and medical staff, when it comes to patients paperwork and medical information. Allison Diana gives us an insight on how universal health care will help take off a big load for medical workers: “states creating health information exchanges that ultimately will connect, will allow professionals from throughout the country to access records regardless of location or insurance”(Diana). Adopting universal health care will help make doctors work easier, as universal health care will create a centralized system where doctors from the West Coast to the East Coast can access a patient’s medical record no matter what insurance...

...As young as I can remember, I have always been a little different. In 2003, my mom and dad decided to adopt a child from China. Looking through profiles of young foster children, they found a child that was right for them; a girl named Jin Feng (My former name in China). After months and months of paperwork, they flew across the Pacific Ocean to get their future daughter. The moment when I met them changed my life. I did not want to leave my home that I was used to. They had to barricade their hotel door, listen to me scream and watch me eat every spicy food out there. The flight back from my hometown – Nanchang, China – involved a lot of sleeping and crying. When the plane finished its flight, my family greeted me at the gates. For two years...

...y Student name: Minh Quyen Pham (Q) Class: IPE1 Title of essay: An evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of adopting the Euro. A case study of The UK I. Introduction According to European Commission (2011a), a new common currency in Europe was announced on the first day of January 1999. At that time, there were eleven European countries decided to join the Euro and the Euro was introduced instead of their own currencies. The Euro has been adopted as a main currency of the country members, including Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. In order to be accepted to use the Euro, these countries had to agree with the conditions called “convergence criteria” about the price and exchange-rate stability, long-term interest rates, total government debt, government budget deficits, and central bank independence. These aspects will be discussed specifically in this essay. In the early stages of announcing and using the Euro, four members of the EU still remained separate from the Euro, namely Denmark, Great Britain, Greece, and Sweden. Later, in 2000, Greece changed its decision to accomplish the agreement. In 2001, it started adopting the Euro. At the present time, there are 17 out of 27 EU countries using the Euro as an official currency, which makes it become one of the most important currencies in the world. In the future, apart from Denmark and Britain, all other members of the EU will adopt the...

...Procurement of Projects and Services – The possibility of adopting the NEC3 family of contracts Sustainable procurement for construction or engineering relies upon making value for money decisions over the life of the asset and not solely on capital costs. A value for money solution to meet user requirements relies upon the optimum combination of whole –life costs and quality. Any procurement strategy should identify the best way of achieving the projects objectives, taking into account the likes of key objectives, constraints, funding, risk and asset ownership. It is the optimum balance of these factors that one strives for. The procurement route is the means of achieving the procurement strategy. This will include the contract strategy that best meets the client’s needs. The contract strategy will determine the level of integration of design, construction and maintenance for a project. This should support the main project objectives in terms of the likes of risk allocation, incentivisation and delivery. There are many procurement routes available including traditional, design and build, prime contracting, management contracts and private finance initiative/public-private partnership. The NEC3 family of contracts is designed to be flexible enough to work in most currently available procurement routes. All parties involved in the project delivering process can be employed under one of the “family” of integrated NEC3 contract forms which allows the parties to benefit...
