In this audio Webcast, KPMG European and U.S. partners discuss how a conversion to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) can be embedded into companies' broader activities of transforming their finance functions and can even serve as a catalyst for change. Conversion to IFRS from U.S. GAAP can change how companies account for a wide range of transactions that may affect their internal information systems and controls, people, and processes.
Among the specific topics covered are:
- How IFRS conversion and finance transformation share many of the same goals and objectives
- Lessons learned from the European experience
- The impact of IFRS and finance transformation on people
- How finance transformation is a continuous journey.
