The thesis deals with harmonisation of international accounting standards, more specifically with the convergence of US GAAP and IFRS. Its first chapter describes the structures of IASB and FASB (the boards responsible for preparing IFRS, respectively US GAAP) and their due process. The second chapter gives history overview of their convergence project to harmonise US GAAP and IFRS and describes its tools. The third chapter focuses on one of the current main joint projects of the Boards - financial statement presentation and tries to answer some of the questions addressed in its discussion paper published for public comments.
