About the Program
Sir David Tweedie and Robert Herz discuss challenges and highlights in the efforts to converge U.S. GAAP and IFRS during their years at the International Accounting Standards Board and the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Herz chaired the FASB between 2002 and 2010. Tweedie's tenure at the IASB ran between 2001 and 2011. The two boards cooperated on important joint projects in a "special arrangement" ushered in with the 2002 Norwalk Agreement that lasted until shortly after Tweedie's retirement. Both passionate advocates for globalization, they witnessed the adoption of IFRS by most of the industrialized world and the lifting of the reconciliation requirement to U.S. GAAP for foreign issuers listed on U.S. exchanges.
