This paper investigates differences between the financial statements of Volvo Corporation, Daimler AG, and Fiat SPA as prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S.GAAP) from 2004-2006. The application of IFRS generally resulted in higher net income than U.S. GAAP. Many differences have already been resolved by the convergence projects of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the International Accounting Standards Board. However, significant and persistent reconciling items that are likely to affect U.S. automakers' financial statements include: pension and other post-retirement benefits expenses, capitalization of development costs, and minority interests reporting.

The EITF consensus requires the company to consider whether "vendor-specifi c objective evidence" or "third-party evidence" of selling price exists, and to consider all available information and evidence when determining its best estimate. So while there is no such thing as an estimate that isn't good enough to allow recognition of revenue for delivered items, the accounting must actually be based on the "best" estimate.

The very role of a board of directors in the system of corporate governance is to oversee a corporation's business and affairs, including its management, because numerous dispersed stockholders cannot effectively perform that function on their own. But if directors incurred liability for every misstep they took, or bad decision they made, it would indeed be rare to find a person willing to serve as a director. In Delaware, where the majority of US corporations are incorporated, the hallmark fiduciary duties are the duties of care and loyalty. But if Delaware corporate law is considered the national corporate law, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is perhaps best described as its smash sequel. While competent, good, or best corporate practices vary from circumstance, from company to company...
