Committee Events - AmCham Capital Markets & Tax Committee Luncheon
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the principles-based accounting and financial reporting framework used by most of the world today, has become a topic of growing interest to U.S. companies, regulators, investors, and auditors. The framework's successful adoption by more than 12,000 companies in almost a hundred countries has prompted an important discussion: Is adopting IFRS the right move for U.S. business? Last November, the U.S. SEC intensified this debate with not one, but two landmark announcements. First, the SEC swept aside a long-standing requirement that foreign companies with U.S. stock market listings reconcile their financial statements prepared under IFRS to U.S. GAAP. Second, the SEC published a concept release soliciting public comment on whether to allow U.S. companies the option to file using IFRS instead of U.S. GAAP. Although there is a high level of uncertainty surrounding IFRS and what it will mean for U.S. companies, support for adopting IFRS in the United States is growing stronger. Joseph Chou, a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), will discuss why the adoption of IFRS is the right step for US business, and provide a quick guide to U.S. companies who want to get ahead of the curve. About the Speaker(s)Joseph leads PwC’s Global Capital Markets Group in Taiwan, which provides technical, strategic planning and project management advisory services to companies interested in undertaking M&A activities, engaging in cross-border transactions, raising capital and/or listing securities in various international capital markets, as well as to companies interested in improving the quality and transparency of their financial information to attract foreign institutional Investors. Joseph has expert knowledge and experience of Taiwan GAAP, US GAAP and IFRS through providing technical advisory support and assisting existing SEC registrants with their on-going reporting requirements and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. He also provides training services to companies to enhance their knowledge of IFRS and US GAAP.
