Bruce Pounder’s Summary

I conduct original research on emerging issues in financial accounting and reporting. Additionally, I regularly present seminars and conference sessions on U.S. GAAP, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and the global convergence of financial reporting standards. I also provide advisory services on financial reporting to both public and private companies.

My latest book, the "2010 U.S. Master GAAP Guide," will be published by CCH in November 2009. Also, I am the financial reporting columnist for "Strategic Finance" magazine.

I frequently present live webcasts on financial accounting and reporting, including the popular series "This Week in Accounting."
