Notice of Solicitation of Public Comment on Consideration of Incorporating IFRS Into the Financial Reporting System for U.S. Issuers

Résumé

The Securities and Exchange Commission is requesting public comment on behalf of the staff on three topics related to its ongoing consideration of incorporating International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") into the financial reporting system for U.S. issuers. These three topics, derived from the staff's Work Plan on considering the incorporation of IFRS into the financial reporting system for U.S. issuers, involve the impact of such incorporation on: Issuers' compliance with contractual arrangements that require the use of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"); Issuers' compliance with corporate governance requirements; and the application of certain legal standards tied to amounts determined for financial reporting purposes.
