Abstract: | This paper examines the accounting for securitizations (hereafter as: secrs.) under U.S. GAAP and international financial reporting standards (IFRS). Using a sample secrs. of the Ford Motor Company, demonstrated are substantial differences depending on whether the secrs. are recorded following U.S. GAAP or IFRS. The analysis suggests that international convergence of accounting standards will be more challenging as the FASB and IASB begin tackling issues, such as asset secrs. with important economic consequences and with substantive differences btw. U.S. GAAP and IFRS. |
