IFRS Versus U.S. GAAP
• The project on business combinations
– Was the first of several joint projects undertaken by the
FASB and the IASB.
– Complete convergence has not yet occurred.
– International standards currently allow a choice between
• writing all assets, including goodwill, up fully (100%
including the noncontrolling share), as required now
under U.S. GAAP, or
• continuing to write goodwill up only to the extent of
the parent’s percentage of ownership.
