Short Statement:
We anticipate that the proposed amendments would increase the burdens and costs for U.S. GAAP to IFRS accounting. We derived the burden estimates for the forms and schedules by estimating the total amount of time that it would take a company to prepare its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The burdens and costs include costs to transition to IFRS reporting, such as determining the effect of first-time IFRS adoption, accounting systems changes to support financial reporting using IFRS, and potentially higher costs for accounting personnel and outside consultants who are familiar with IFRS.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$75,000
