The CFO of Parvin has learned that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is accepting financial statements of non-US firms using either US GAAP or IFRS in preparing consolidated financial statements. The CFO is curious to determine the impact that switch from IFRS to U.S. GAAP would have on its financial statements and has engaged you to list a reconciliation of income and stockholders' equity from IFRS to U.S. GAAP.
