The frequency with which you and your colleagues ask questions about International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) probably will increase in the coming months.

So, Protiviti’s “Guide to International Financial Reporting Standards,” which follows a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) format, is timely.

Answers include responses to many questions, include these:

• Where can I find the pronouncements regulating IFRS?

• What lessons can be learned from the conversion experiences of other countries?

• Is there a way to estimate the time, effort, and cost required for my company to convert to IFRS?

• How will IFRS affect analysts’ valuations of our company?

The guide requires a one-time registration (your e-mail address if you’re not already registered) and is available here. ###
