Introducing GAAP 2001, A Survey of National Accounting Rules Benchmarked against IAS
To help promote transparency in financial reporting around the world, KPMG has contributed to an international survey of national accounting rules produced by seven of the large accountancy firms. The GAAP 2001 survey aims to provide an annual "status report" on the extent to which national accounting rules are aligned with International Accounting Standards (IAS) as of December 31, 2001. The survey highlights major topics of accounting differences including financial instruments, pensions, taxes, impairment losses, and provisions as well as accounting for business combinations. The disclosure of segment reporting and related parties also is an area where national rules continue to diverge from IAS.The GAAP 2001 survey, initiated by the large accounting firms united under the auspices of the International Forum of Accountancy Development (IFAD), covers 62 countries, representing some 95 percent of the world's gross national product and looks at 80 key accounting measures (including a few areas of disclosure). The focus is on consolidated financial statements for publicly listed companies.
