ACCOUNTING ISSUES
Cross-Listing on Foreign stock exchanges
• MNCs frequently raise capital outside their home country. When a
company offers its shares on an exchange outside of its home country,
this is referred to as Cross-Listing.
Global Accounting Standards
• There is an international movement towards adopting a set of
global accounting standards. These standards are known as
“International Financial Reporting Standards” or “IFRS”.
• Countries adopting these standards, will, for example, be in a
better position to evaluate FDI.
• Another advantage of the adoption of global accounting
standards is the elimination of the need to convert from local
GAAP when preparing consolidated financial statements.
