Answer to Question 1

IFRS are International Financial Reporting Standards, rules that have been set by the International Accounting Standards Board. Many countries have adopted IFRS already. The SEC has set forth a timetable for convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS. IFRS and U.S. GAAP have similar general and qualitative characteristics of accounting information. However, U.S. GAAP have more detailed rules, while IFRS are considered to be more concept-based and require more judgment to apply.
