Course Description

Synopsis:

While US GAAP and IFRS/SFRS(I) share a common foundation, important differences in presentation, disclosure, and regulatory requirements remain, and can have real reporting and compliance implications.

This course covers a practical comparison of the two frameworks, highlighting common problem areas faced by preparers and auditors. You’ll examine key presentation and disclosure differences, understand major US SEC filing requirements and deadlines, and explore practical considerations for dual reporting and first-time filers transitioning to or from US GAAP.

Ideal for finance professionals involved in cross-border reporting or US regulatory compliance, this course helps you avoid common reporting pitfalls, reduce filing risk, and report with confidence.

To get the most out of this course, we recommend starting with Thomas Egan's Foundations of US GAAP and the US Regulatory Framework and Key Differences Between US GAAP and IFRS: Recognition and Measurement.
