Students will select a country of their choice to analyze. A written report will include the development and current status of capital markets, accounting standards, and regulatory bodies. Comparisons should be made to U.S GAAP, where applicable.
Find information on the history of accounting and regulation in the country. Specifically discuss, as applicable, the legal and political structure (e.g. code or common law, democracy, parliamentary system, etc.), the name of the organization that set country-specific GAAP before IFRS like FASB, the equivalent of any government oversight body like the SEC, the existence of stock exchanges in the country, and the presence of any auditing oversight body like the PCAOB.
Write information on why the country adopted IFRS and what issues were noted during the decision process. Did they adopt all of the IFRS standards? How are they regulating IFRS (e.g. do they fully endorse all standards, or review and modify IFRS standards)? Is there any information on how they address issues such as private companies versus not-for-profits? Has their auditing oversight mechanism changed (or been created) as a result of IFRS adoption?

1. The length should be 4-5 pages (12 point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced). There should be a works cited page (that is not part of the 4-5 pages) that includes all references used in the paper. In-text citations are also required.
