Harmonization or Hegemony?
It has also been said that the robustness of U.S. GAAP has exerted so much pressure on the international accounting standards-setting process that the United States was effectively attempting to make its GAAP the predominant accounting influence in other countries. The continued use of U.S. GAAP is surely not aimed at creating either accounting hegemony or accounting isolation. It is simply a sovereign right to continue to use a set of national standards that not only are high in quality and robust per se, but have earned the respect and admiration of being the most stringent in the world.
One approach to convergence would be to allow the use of IFRS while not making either IFRS or U.S. GAAP mandatory. This would necessarily allow corporations to use U.S. GAAP for domestic reporting purposes, and to use IFRS should they desire to use across borders. An alternative would be for the AICPA to recognize IFRS used by private domestic companies as an Other Comprehensive Basis of Accounting (OCBOA). Used this way, IFRS would give companies added flexibility in their financial accounting reporting. Additionally, this option could narrow the familiarity gap between U. S. GAAP and IFRS.
Previous research on international accounting harmonization has taken the form of descriptive, analytical, or subjective discussions of the merits and demerits of harmonization. Some studies have shown that diversity influences international financial decision-making. Other studies suggest that harmonization is inevitable and that the mutual recognition of accounting standards with some benchmark, such as a set of international standards, could be the tool needed to harmonize accounting standards and principles.
Yet other studies do not consider the harmonization of international accounting standards as a universally acceptable goal, because accounting principles developed from the interaction of accounting practices and theory with each country's unique social, political, and economic environments. While some authors have posited that harmonization would make sense only if the accounting systems of different countries were very similar, such as those of the United States and Canada, others have argued that because global capital markets have flourished in the absence of any uniform accounting standards, any attempt to impose such standards would be an exercise in futility. Some have asked whether innovation in disclosure occurs in the financial reporting behavior of enterprises dependent on foreign resources, and whether enterprises in the international marketplace would make disclosures contrary to the secretiveness of their home culture.
