Answer to Question 1

To prevail under the Securities Act of 1933, John must prove only that the registration statement contained a material misstatement or omission, and he lost money.

Answer to Question 2

As businesses become more international, using IFRS, or international financial reporting standards, would make cross-country comparisons easier. Worldwide consistency would be possible. Foreign companies might be more willing to invest in the United States if they could use international accounting rules. A disadvantage is that some IFRS standards are weaker than the GAAP standards. Also, some experts fear allowing use of IFRS would amount to outsourcing financial safety standards.
