The move toward the global adoption of a single set of accounting standards continues with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) implementing an ambitious work plan for major joint projects with a number of new standards expected in 2011.
With the convergence agenda comes change and a need for companies to understand the broad implications of the changes on their organisation including financial and management reporting, contract management, process changes, IT systems, risk assessment and management.
