  IFRS Summit Center

Welcome to our online International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Summit Center, featuring commentary and perspectives from International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) Chairman Hans Hoogervorst and U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Chairman Leslie Seidman, who were the keynote speakers at Deloitte’s fourth annual Summit held on October 18, 2011.
