1 Press Releases June 7, 2010 ![](/sites/default/files/styles/246w/public/assets/images/uat_025670.jpg?itok=ndVB02vW) NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As accounting policy makers, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission, continue to discuss a game-changing shift in the world of financial reporting, NYU Stern experts are available to comment on a variety of issues surrounding the possible convergence of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). >

Topics of concern include: - How will statement readers reconcile the differences between firms who opt to use GAAP vs. those who use IFRS during this period of transition?
- How should educators incorporate IFRS into the accounting curriculum?
- Based on the variety of “types” of IFRS – e.g., European IFRS vs. country-specific versions of IFRS – which is the best option for the United States?
- Do existing differences between IFRS and GAAP adversely impact global markets?
- Are US companies prepared for IFRS compliance?

The following Stern professors are available to provide perspectives and commentary on these issues:
