In the meantime, two well-known academics with opposing views on IFRS implementation are soliciting immediate input on their 12-question IFRS survey. Tom Selling, author of The Accounting Onion and a former SEC Academic Fellow, and Pat Walters, currently at Fordham Univ. and a former senior V.P. at the CFA Institute) would ideally like the responses this week.
