NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - May 18, 2010) - Steven L. Henning, Ph.D, CPA, Partner-in-Charge of the Litigation and Corporate Financial Advisory Services Group at Marks Paneth & Shron LLP, has published an article in ExecutiveView urging US companies to cease resistance and move forward with the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in order to participate in global financial uniformity.
In the article, Mr. Henning explains:
- Reasoning for the expansion of IFRS adoption around the globe.
- Why IFRS rejection in the US could be a detrimental mistake.
- The challenges that businesses, both public and private, may face when converting to IFRS -- and why it is still worth the effort.
- Why IFRS is regarded as the "gold standard" to investors, regulators and other stakeholders.
- How resistance to convert to IFRS will likely damage companies, exchanges and the US economy.
