The SEC plans to hold a Roundtable on August 4 (next Monday).It will deal with the performance of US GAAP and IFRS during the "Subprime" Crisis.
This roundtable will provide the Commission with valuable insights from investors, issuers, auditors, and others about the way that both IFRS and U.S. GAAP performed in the context of the current pressures on the marketplace," said SEC Chairman Christopher Cox. "We are particularly interested in how the two sets of standards dealt with the key accounting issues in the subprime crisis, including off-balance sheet entities and fair value."
