Globalization's Affect on Accounting Standards: GAAP vs. IFRS Over the years, globalization has had an impact on many aspects of business; from the outsourcing of labor to the trade relations, the effects of globalization are a frequent factor in business operations. Recently this idea has spread to the accounting standards of the United States. GAAP, or generally accepted accounting principles, are the set of rules that the...more
Globalization's Continuing Impact on American Accounting Globalization is effecting the accounting profession more than it ever has before. The most recent impact has come from the imminent change from U.S. GAAP to IFRS. Although the change isn't expected to happen for several years, the switch is already starting to have an effect on accountants. Besides the CPA's preparing the new financial statements, accounting majors and companies' IT departments also need to prepare for IFRS. The proposal from the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) for the United States to stop using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and adopt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is one of the biggest impacts that globalization has had on the accounting profession. The reasoning behind the switch is to have one single set of global accounting rules. Many countries are already reporting financial statements using IFRS, and more are planning to adopt the standards in 2011.

The Impact of Globalization on Small Buisnesses Today, everything we buy has a tag on it somewhere, and most tags will say it is made in countries such as India, China, Mexico, and Peru. This leads us to think that nothing we buy is made in America anymore. There are also those American companies that make their products locally and try to market them in the world's different economies. There are still those companies out there that have not globalized. They have not taken their business and sent it overseas to be made cheaper by citizens of other countries. Each of these businesses, the ones selling to other countries, and the ones who are sending their work away to other countries, may seem like the only way business can be done these days. On the contrary, there are still people out there who make their products domestically and only sell to Americans, and globalization is affecting them in different ways than the ones who are embracing it fully.Globalization does a lot for businesses today, especially because of the technological age we live in. People whose businesses used to be confined to their hometown because of their lack of connections with other communities are...more
