After the SEC's release of long-awaited road map for the transition by U.S. public companies to the use of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and AICPA's proposal of including IFRS on the CPA exam should and hopefully will trigger the process of covering IFRS issues through accountancy education in US.
