The report by PricewaterhouseCoopers analyzes proposed changes to financial instrument accounting by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These changes, driven by the global financial crisis, aim to provide more accurate financial statements by increasing fair value reporting and altering impairment and interest income recognition. The FASB's model, which is open for comments, would require significant adjustments to accounting processes and systems, particularly for automotive finance companies. The IASB has published IAS 9, which, while similar, has notable differences from the FASB's proposal. Both models would substantially alter the financial reporting landscape, necessitating early preparation by companies to adapt their reporting infrastructures.
