    Questions That Must Be Addressed for aSuccessful IFRS lmplementationThe US Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC) is planning what could be among the largestchanges in the history of American accounting-aconversion from Generally Accepted AccountingPrinciples (GAAP) to Intemational FinancialReporting Standards (IFRS). This article integrateslessons leamed from previous implementationsofyear 2000 (Y2I() enterprise resoutce planning(ERP) systems and the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act of2002, and lessons leamed from countries that havealready adopted IFRS to prode an assessmentthat audit committees (ACs), chief financialofficers (CFOs) and IT auditors can use to identifycritical questions for a successfulIFRS implementation.

    CONVERSION TO IFRSApproximately 29 miliion private businessesand 44,000 certified public accountant (CPA)firms in the US will be required to switch toIFRS-based standards.l The most likely effectivedate for an IFRS implementation will not comeuntil 2016. A recent 2010 survey by FinancialExecutives International (FEI) and I(PMG foundthat responders could attain an implementationdeadline of 2016, if the IFRS decision is madein 201 1.2Canadian public companies must be IFRS-

    compliant starting in 2011. Of 146 seniorexecutives responding to a 2010 FinancialExecutives Research Foundation (FERF) survey,most respondents lrom Canadian companiesindicated that they were converting because theircompanies were publicly accountable-meaning,therefore, that conversion was mandatory.The survey also reported that the maiority ofcompanies were planning on running IFRS andCanadian GAAP in parallel.s Canadian IFRSimplementation in small enterprises, whichis similar to what is expected in the US, isoften the responsibility of CFOs, who are alsocharged with most other financial managementissues in their firms. Conversely, CFOs of large

    companies are more likely to be supported withadequate resources and staff devoted to theconversion. Dedicated IFRS teams for publiccompanies in the Canadian IFRS implementationinclude accounting, IT, internal audit, treasury,risk management, human resources (HR) andinvestor relations.For companies in the UK, Ireland and Italythat have already converted to IFRS, the biggestproblem was the unexpected time commitment inunderstanding IFRS, in training, in assimilatingrequirements, and, for some, in major changesin lT.a The mosr difficuh IFRS srandards are

    those that require fair values, external data orkey assumptions to be made to implement thestandards. While most companies relied heavily ontheir auditors to advise them, complications arosewhen the Big Four audit firms did not agree onthe treatment of certain items. The feedback fromthese countries suggests that the IFRS conversionshould be viewed as a significant project.While the timeline for the US adoption/convergence to IFRS is still unclear, there areseveral critical questions that corporate officersshould be addressing now to achieve a successfulIFRS implementation. These questions include:. What are the requirements for IFRS?r What has been leamed from ERP and

    Sarbanes-Oxley implementation projects?. What are the roles of COBIT and theCommittee of Sponsoring Organizations of theTreadway Commission (COSO) ?o Do accounting and IT have the necessaryproject management (PM) skills?Planning and appropriate resource allocationsare necessary IFRS implementation requirements.Moreover, the implementation should beintegrated with IT and internal controls in orderto meet or exceed regulatory requirements.IFRS REQUIREMENTSThe impact of IFRS on IT and financial systemscan vary depending on the firm's IT and financial

    systems' capability/integration, industry complexity, size.relevance of business process/transaction, intemal controlstructure, mergers and acquisitions process, and othetattributes.5 Integrating both accounting and IT requirementsfor a multinational company exposes an array of variablesthat, in combination, can escalate the overall risk of an IFRSimplementation.6 Variables include:r The intricacies of IFRS technical accountirg standards. An overlap of local and international regulatory

    consiclerations Conversion across business units and countries. Separate lT systems within man orgarrizations. A liryited numbef of IT professionals with IFRS technicalknowledge who haye the abiliiies to interpret and translateIFRS into lT changesThe ellect of IFRS on lT varies from company to company.

    as edenced by the rgsults of a sulvey of Canadian publiccompanies in which 61 percent said that the IFRS conversionwould have a medium or high impact on IT systems, whereasonly 27 percent of private companies expected a mediumor high iiirpact.l Some of the differences in perceiyed.IFRS impact are attributable to the data collection aidmainlenance lequirements.

    Firms with weak COSO components related to IT frequentlyspiil over to create more MWs and misstatements notrelated to IT.. Weak COSO components related to IT negatively affectreporting reliability and add to the number of non-ITMWs reported.Moreover, the conclusion from Klamm and Watson'sresearch is that the IT domain appears to affect overallcont rol effecti veness.Cumrilative edence from Y2K ERP and subsequent ITproject and Sarbanes-Oxley implementations suggest severalrisk drivers for IFRS:.

    The authors believe that ACs and corporate officers shouldevaluate their intemal organization skills as the project is fullydefined and proposed. The evaluation should be based on thepremise that:1. Accountants and CPAs do not acquire PM skills in most
