IFRS - its not just about numbers.
It is also a people story: For starters, who should be trained (and when), who should provide the training, and what impact will an early mastery of IFRS have on an accountant's career?
That last question brings an easy answer from those in a position to provide IFRS training, including college professors and professional services firms.
For career advancement purposes, gaining bona fide expertise in international standards in the short term may be a sure ticket to bountiful career rewards.
"It's one of two very hot areas, fair value being the other one, anybody becoming an expert in either of those areas has a guaranteed career for many years."
