<p>So I've been giving this some thought. What do you think the chances of US adoption of IFRS are? Ill be transfering to a 4 year univ in a year and was considering getting a bs in acctcy then going for a masters in acct in britian or somewhere to develop a competitive edge/niche over other accountants because if we do adopt IFRS ill obviously be at an advantage. But I was wondering in the scenario we don't adopt would I still be able to market the skills of knowing both systems? If I left out a specific question, but you have any extra information you could shed light on, please do :)</p>
<p>I know this question is extremely speculative and probably malinformed in a few areas but if anyone knows if there is a demand for someone w/ a knowledge of both ifrs and gaap or if this would be useful id really like to know</p>
<p>I know about 13 months ago GAAP announced it wanted to merge with IfRS by 2012, but nodoy believed they would get it accomplished in such short time.</p>
