system used for recording transactions, are the same under GAAP and IFRS
The overriding principle in converting to IFRS is full retrospective
application of IFRS Retrospective application—recasting prior financial statements on the basis of IFRS—provides financial statement users with comparable information

Trang 39Key Points
A Look at IFRS
As indicated, the objective of the conversion process is to present a
set of IFRS statements as if the company always reported under IFRS To achieve this objective, a company follows these steps
1 Identify the timing of its first IFRS statements
2 Prepare an opening balance sheet at the date of transition to
IFRS
3 Select accounting principles that comply with IFRS, and apply
these principles retrospectively
4 Make extensive disclosures to explain the transition to IFRS

Trang 41Looking to the Future
A Look at IFRS
The definitional structure of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, and
expenses may change over time as the IASB and FASB evaluate their
overall conceptual framework for establishing accounting standards In
addition, high-quality international accounting requires both
high-quality accounting standards and high-quality auditing Similar to
the convergence of U.S GAAP and IFRS, there is a movement to
improve international auditing standards The International Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) functions as an independent
standard-setting body It works to establish high-quality auditing and
assurance and quality-control standards throughout the world Whether
the IAASB adopts internal control provisions similar to those in SOX
remains to be seen You can follow developments in the international
audit arena at http://www.ifac.org/laasb/
