IFRS Resistance is futile

If you are wondering about the anti-IFRS movement you would be interested in the very amusing post yesterday by David Albrecht in "The Summa"blog. David Albrecht, Ph.D., CPA, is an accounting professor at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.

A picture on the site states that David loves accounting! Well that's going too far?

He recently had a post on sexy accounting and sexy accountants in general LOL

I once won third prize in a beauty contest for sexy accountants - well that's stretching my resume somewhat! Just joking! Next there will be an "IFRS Exorcist" Action figure?

Regulators will need to monitor conversions very carefully. Will the CSA take a more active role and will there be a NATIONAL Securities Regulator we need one and with teeth!
