 Re: IASC Strategy Working Party Discussion Paper
As a longstanding supporter of the efforts of the IASC to achieve convergence of national accounting standards to high quality international standards, AIMR is particularly interested in changes to the structure and process of the IASC that might dilute in any way the relationship between the IASC and investors.
One of the strengths of the existing IASC structure is the direct, voting participation by a cross-section of its constituencies.
Another of the IASC's strengths is the willingness of all Board delegations to debate the issues fully and to compromise on minor issues in order to achieve convergence.

 Comment1
The assessment of an individual IASC standard should be based not only on recognition and measurement requirements, but also on disclosures, and it should look not only to the "fl letter" standards, but also to the "gray letter" background and implementation guidance contained within the standard.
We believe this evidence suggests that the potential quality of IASC standards is diminished because of the existence of explicit and implicit alternatives within those standards and because a lack of implementation guidance contributes to ambiguity about their appropriate application.
In addition, when the IASC set the core standards, it had not yet adopted a standard-setting structure and process that embodied all of the characteristics identified by the SEC in the Concept Release as necessary to be an effective high-quality standard setter.

 Facts: Concept Release on International Accounting Standards
The SEC staff sought, during the development of the IASC standards, to identify issues based on the assessment criteria articulated in a 1996 Commission press release: the comprehensiveness of the standards; whether they would require comparable, transparent reporting with full disclosure; and whether the standards would be rigorously interpreted and applied.
The purpose of the release is to obtain feedback from domestic and foreign parties regarding both acceptance of IASC standards and the broader issue of shaping a global financial structure for increasingly globalized capital markets.
The release seeks to identify what important concerns would be raised by acceptance of IASC standards; and then asks for comment on whether the Commission should modify its current requirement for all financial statements to be reconciled to U.S. The release emphasizes a desire to gain knowledge of respondents' first hand experience with IASC standards.
