View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. The SEC now advocates for global accounting standards through public announcements, such as its “Statement in Support of Convergence and Global Accounting Standards” (2010). In the past, the SEC had required reconciliations between IFRS and US GAAP, but these requirements were withdrawn in 2008. The SEC now imposes no requirements on its issuers.

A is incorrect. Before 2008, issuers were required to provide disclosures in support of the reconciliation from IFRS to US GAAP.

B is incorrect. Before 2008, issuers were required to provide a reconciliation from IFRS to US GAAP.

【Answer to question 2】C

【analysis】

C is correct. Significant differences still exist between IFRS and US GAAP, and in most cases, analysts will lack the information necessary to make specific adjustments to address these differences. As such, comparisons must be interpreted cautiously.

B is incorrect. Significant differences still exist between IFRS and US GAAP, and should not be ignored.

A is incorrect. Reconciliations are no longer readily available. The SEC eliminated the reconciliation requirement for companies that prepared their financial statements according to IFRS in 2007.
