Many thanks for your posts covering this niche. accounting standards are something we like arguing about.
Although there are many different sides on the subject, it is nonetheless excellent that you have offered this site and opinion.
A analysis of the problems encountered in migration between GAAP and IFRS might make for some engrossing discussion.

Appreciate your time,
