Welcome to the BDO Center for Accounting and SEC Matters. Here, you’ll find resources that cover the technical accounting and reporting topics of interest to CFOs, financial management and the financial reporting community.

Helping clients thrive in the global business environment  

For companies based in the U.S., financial reporting in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) can be a daunting and unfamiliar process. Companies applying IFRS for the first time are faced with numerous initial adoption choices and judgements.
