kutta2102 I'm going to miss every question on exam that has to deal with IFRS - I'll take my chances to remember only US GAAP principles. What do you guys think?
viannie kutta2102, learn from one direction, but know the other. What I mean is learn with respect to US GAAP. IFRS is important, so know the difference with respect to US GAAP. CHeck out questions in curriculum reading 43 ... all from aspects of IFRS. No harm know a little on it ;)
CFunder By default I think we are to assume IFRS if nothing is stated.
gmilchev IFRS is the default one.
johntan1979 Is that true? I thought this is a US-based exam, so always assume local default i.e. US GAAP.

Besides, most notes and the textbook implies US GAAP when none of the two is explicitly stated, and mentions IFRS only when it's not GAAP.
Freddie33 I also assumed GAAP was the one that was assumed if not stated

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
