| cfaajay | U.S.GAAP does allow Proportionate consolidation for unincorporated entities ..such as in construction industry..but U.S.GAAP prefers equity method. |
| thebkr777 | Does this not contradict the chart they gave us? "US: Equity method. IFRS Equity or Proportionate consolidation" |
| SRI2010 | thebkr777, in my opinion, the second one is false because the IFRS doesnt explicity recommend the proportionate consolidation method. it is "either-or" |
| davidt876 | "Both IFRS and U.S. GAAP require the equity method of accounting for joint ventures" - is what the notes just said |
You have a wonderful website and definitely should take some credit for your members' outstanding grades.
