Nickel Corporation is based in a country that permits the use of either international accounting standards or domestic GAAP.

“Michael, reporting under our domestic GAAP is much more costly to the company than reporting under International accounting standards. I understand that fewer disclosures are required under international accounting standards. Moreover, international accounting standards provide more choices when it comes to applying accounting methods to our financial statements to produce the most favorable results. And, to be honest with you, the company is going to have to report under our current domestic GAAP. I certainly don’t want that to happen while I’m CEO.”

“I hear you, Aaron, but converting to international accounting standards might look bad to investors. What if the public finds out that we were trying to hide the operating loss or switched to international accounting standards to manipulate the Bottom line? That could prove even more costly in the long run, while saving the company pennies now.”

  1. As Nickel Corporation’s auditor, would you agree to the switch to international accounting standards?
