IFRS Readiness: Preparing for the Inevitable--Proactive First Steps for the 2009 Deadline

Mounting evidence suggests that the SEC has realized the value in global accounting standards and is accelerating measures to retire US GAAP and require public companies to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Learn how this historic event will impact and alter the finance function, as well as what critical first steps must be taken for your organization to be prepared.
