ACC670 Advanced Financial Statement Analysis
Week 1 Discussion
DQ1 Accounting standards are very complex and require expertise in their interpretation and application. Smaller companies often do not have the resources available to obtain this expertise, leading to the concept of “big GAAP” and “little GAAP,” whereby there would be two sets of standards: one for large, publicly traded companies and another for smaller companies. Should there be two sets of accounting standards? Why or why not?
DQ2 Should international accounting standards be required, encouraged, or ignored? If required or encouraged, should all companies have to abide by international accounting standards when compiling their financial statements? Why?
