...CASE: Reporting Comprehensive Income: IFRS vs. US GAAP a) Messrs. Cope and Foster dissent from this Statement because it permits an enterprise to display the items of other comprehensive income identified in this Statement with less prominence and to characterize them differently from other items of comprehensive income that are currently included in net income. Messrs. Cope and Foster believe that a primary objective in undertaking a project on reporting comprehensive income was to significantly enhance the visibility of items of other comprehensive income. They also believe that the Board inappropriately failed to respond to the clear and unequivocal call from users of financial statements for the transparent presentation of all items of comprehensive income, whose request is acknowledged in paragraphs 40 and 41 of this Statement. They also note that, as evidenced by the basis for conclusions in the Exposure Draft, the Board held views similar to theirs when it issued that document. We agree with Messrs. Cope and Foster’s concerns. If the companies choose to report the items of other comprehensive income in the Statement of Changes in Equity, the visibility of these items will be decreased because there are many other important item in this statement, and the users may not focus on the important items of other comprehensive income, and at the same time, net income is reported in the Income Statement, which will make the financial statement users focus more on net income...

...| FASB Project | ACCT 495-6260 | | Mallory Taylor | 4/26/2013 | | U.S. GAAP and IFRS: History of Convergence The business environment today is one of a truly global perspective. There are few businesses left in this world that does not conduct business on an international basis. The need for a universal accounting system is a direct result of the magnitude of international business. Investors, managers, CEOs, and virtually all stakeholders need to understand the accounting information of the other businesses they interact with, regardless of the country or region of the world that business is located. “The effort to join the international financial community in a single set of standards has been in motion for over 40 years. The International Accounting standards Committee was formed in 1973. This committee evolved into the International accounting Standards Board (IASB) in 2001. International security regulators supported accounting regulators in the call for universal standards” (Thomas, 2009, p. 369). “The regulators in the U.S. have been slow to join the efforts for global convergence. In 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which issues U.S. GAAP, and the International Accounting Standards Board entered into the Norwalk Agreement. This agreement acknowledges their commitment to high quality accounting standards for use domestically and across borders. This agreement aims to remove the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS standards...

...These efforts will be an expansion of existing disclosure requirements under Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 715-80 (originally FAS 87, FAS 106 and FAS 132(R)). FASB plans to move quickly on this project with the issuance of a proposed standard sometime this summer and a final standard before the end of the year. FASB has not yet indicated when the enhanced disclosures would take effect. Reasons cited for FASB deciding to take up this topic include concerns raised by constituents about perceived deficiencies in current disclosures for mutliemployer plans, including the lack of disclosure about potential for increases in contributions as a result of plans being underfunded. FASB also indicates that these concerns are driven by the significant deterioration in the funded status of multiemployer plans.[1] For the full text of the FASB Press release, please go to: http://www.fasb.org/cs/ContentServer?c=FASBContent_C&pagename=FASB%2FFASBContent_C%2FProjectUpdatePage&cid=1176156724606 ----------------------- [1] The Pension Protection Act of 2006 categorizes plans according to their funded status as being either Green Zone (generally greater than 80% funded), Yellow Zone (generally less than 80% funded but more than 65% funded) or Red Zone (generally 65% or lower in funded status).

Convergence is a high priority on the agendas of both the US Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) — and “convergence” is a term that suggests an elimination or coming together of differences. Yet much is still made of the many differences that exist between US GAAP as promulgated by the FASB and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as promulgated by the IASB, suggesting that the two GAAPs continue to speak languages that are worlds apart. This apparent contradiction has prompted many to ask just how different are the two sets of standards? And where differences exist, why do they exist...

...that Merrill Lynch has introduced a new client relationship technique called the Supernova at the Merrill Lynch’s Indianapolis offices. This practise was implemented on a trial basis and generated a positive and vibrant response between the financial advisors (FA’s) and their customers. But on the flipside it was continuously challenging the traditional ways of dealing of a relationship by a FA with its client party. The concerned person here in this case is in a dilemma whether to apply Supernova in Merrill Lynch with a larger perspective. SUPERNOVA Supernova was the name given to new way of relationship managementintroduced by Merrill Lynch’s Indianapolis offices. Supernova was invented by Rob Knapp, head of Mid West Dist office who’s “Customer Satisfaction” ranked last among 32 dist in country in 1995.
