At Wednesday, the 22nd of March, there will be a seminar by

Prof. Zeff (Rice University), former president of the American Accounting Association,

on the topic, "The Coming Confrontation on International Accounting Standards"!

The seminar will take place from 11.00 to 12.30 in lecture room 13 of the center of business studies (BWZ) of the University of Vienna, University of Vienna - BWZ Bruennerstr. 72 1210 WIEN.

The paper is available from Alex Stomper at the center of business studies.

Abstract: In 1999, the US Securities and Exchange Commission will begin a momentuous process of judging the acceptability of the core standards promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Committee. It is the aim of this paper to review the major developments relating to the IASC's Comparability/Improvements Project (which evolved into its core standards project) and to anticipate the process that the SEC is likely to adopt when deciding on whether, and to what extent, the IASC's standards may be used by foreign companies listed in the US.
