Recipe for dissent
Article Abstract:
Ian Mckintosh, ASB chairman, sought views on the board's International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) convergence strategy, which has taken a phased approach. There was a general swell of feeling against the complexity users found, and a part of the problem was with the International Accounting Standards Board's (IASB's) convergence project with US standards, while a straw poll on this issue showed that the majority were split between opting for full IFRS for only the largest companies, and the option for a third tier of companies that would use some parts of IFRS.
