A recent IFRS Foundation survey found that 144 of 160 profiled jurisdictions require the use of IFRS for all or most companies. With this global acceptance, and as more than 500 foreign companies are reporting to the SEC using IFRS, learn how to read and understand the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS financial reports. This course, the first in a three-course series, concentrates on the presentation of financial statements using U.S. GAAP vs IFRS.
