Exercise 9

For many years, the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) Foundation has worked to develop and promote the adoption of a single set of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) that are globally accepted. It has done this through its standard-setting body, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). An article in Accounting Today entitled "IFRS Foundation Charts IFRS Progress" ( http://www.accountingtoday.com/news/IFRSFoundation-Charts-IFRS-Progress-67016-1.html ) reported on the first phase of a study by the IFRS Foundation on progress toward global adoption of IFRSs.
Prepare an outline you can use for a speech to your accounting club on the pros and cons of global adoption of IFRSs, the progress made toward global adoption, and prospects for completion of the effort by the IFRS Foundation. Chapter 16 provides more information on oral presentations.
