Background and past developments
Accounting Convergence What is Convergence? v v Accounting standards based on the same concepts and principles © 2015 KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U. S. member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved.

Convergence Plan n Norwalk Agreement (September 2002) – n n FASB and IASB pledged to make their existing financial reporting standards fully compatible and coordinate future work programs to ensure compatibility is maintained Memorandum of Understanding between FASB and IASB (February 2006) – Commitment to achieve convergence – Sets guidelines on how to approach the task – Presents standard-setting goals to be accomplished by the end of 2008 Updated Memorandum of Understanding (September 2008) – Presents standard setting goals to be accomplished by the end of 2011 © 2015 KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U. S. member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved. 5
The 2006 Mo. U Discussions by the FASB and the IASB regarding their approach to the convergence program indicated agreement on the following guidelines: • Convergence of accounting standards can best be achieved through the development of high quality, common standards over time • Trying to eliminate differences between two standards that are in need of significant improvement is not the best use of the FASB’s and the IASB’s resources—instead, a new common standard should be developed that improves the financial information reported to investors • Serving the needs of investors means that the boards should seek to converge by replacing weaker standards with stronger standards Report of IASB and FASB to G 20 Finance Ministers, February 2013: • Most of the short-term projects and several of the longer-term projects have been completed or are nearing completion • In 2012 the boards made significant progress on the remaining joint projects and they continue to appreciate the importance of developing converged accounting standards © 2015 KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U.

Current thinking of SEC
SEC Strategic Plan 2014 -2018 “The SEC will continue to promote the establishment of highquality accounting standards in order to meet the needs of investors. Due to the increasingly global nature of capital markets, the agency will work to promote higher quality financial reporting worldwide and will consider, among other things, whether a single set of high-quality global accounting standards is achievable. ” © 2015 KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U.

SEC Chair Speech May 2014 “……. . it is a priority for the Commission to position itself to make a further statement on the incorporation of IFRS in the U. S. for domestic issuers…” © 2015 KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U. S. member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved. 15
SEC Chief Accountant Speech December 2014 Ø Many U. S. constituents are not supportive of full adoption of IFRS for a variety of reasons, including legal issues and cost-benefit concerns Ø Continued uncertainty around IFRS in the U. S. would result in uneasiness for investors across the globe Ø Suggested a new alternative approach © 2015 KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U. S. member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved. 16
New Alternative Approach Ø Would permit voluntary additional IFRS financial information which could range from a complete set of IFRS financial statements to selected IFRS based financial data Ø Potential change to SEC Regulation S-K Item 10 e and Regulation G in regards to Non-GAAP measures (i. e. , no reconciliation to US GAAP financial information)? Ø Audit and/or assurance-related implications? Ø Legal and regulatory (e. g. , banking) issues? © 2015 KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U. S. member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved. 17
Potential approaches to incorporate IFRS into the U. S. financial reporting system considered by the SEC for domestic issuers: Full adoption of IFRS on a specified date (without any endorsement mechanism) very unlikely Full adoption of IFRS following staged transition very unlikely Retain U. S. GAAP with continued convergence/endorsement Convergence appears to end after completion of major Mo. U projects Optional adoption of IFRS for certain issuers Still possible Voluntary Disclosure of IFRS financial information Possibly proposed in 2015 © 2015 KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U.
