WASHINGTON (HedgeWorld.com) - The Securities and Exchange Commission today [Aug. 4] held a roundtable on developments in accounting standards, and in particular on the way companies have used either the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States or the International Financial Reporting Standards during the past year of market turmoil.

However, accounting firms and some of their clients are watching closely for an SEC statement that is expected before the end of this year, which may give a clearer indication of whether the SEC intends to move toward adoption, or if IFRS will go the way of the metric system in this country.
