Webcast Replay: International Convergence and the Possible Use of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the U.S.

October 25, 2007 - 11:00 AM EDT

Please join Robert Herz, Chairman of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), and James Leisenring, from the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) for a web conference on October 25, 2007 at 11:00 am EDT, discussing “International Convergence and the Possible Use of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the U.S.”

Mr. Herz and Mr. Leisenring will share their perspective on:

• Why the capital markets will benefit from a common set of high quality accounting standards,
• What the possible paths to a single set of standards would be,
• Key aspects of the convergence process,
• Potential challenges of this initiative, and
• Where international convergence stands today.

Additionally, the discussion will provide insight into the running debate of a two-GAAP system and IFRS system, and the pros and cons of differing standards.

The webcast will be moderated by Marc Siegel, RiskMetric Group's Head of Accounting Lens & Legal Edge Research, and member of FASB’s Investors Technical Advisory Committee.
