5.1 Introduction
The SEC staff’s comments to FPIs using IFRS® Accounting
Standards have addressed a number of financial accounting and disclosure topics.
Many of the comments are generally consistent with those issued to domestic filers
and raise topics discussed in other sections of this publication (although SEC staff
comments to FPIs on such financial statement topics refer to IFRS Accounting
Standards). Staff comments to FPIs that are uniquely relevant to entities that
report under IFRS Accounting Standards are primarily related to the presentation of
financial statements (under IAS 1).
