Deloitte's IFRS University Consortium
20 May 2008
Deloitte has announced that it is forming an IFRS University Consortium, through which it will contribute its time, experience, and resources as an investment in education to help bring IFRS curricula into college classrooms.
Through the Consortium, Deloitte is contributing resources to Ohio State and Virginia Tech universities to assist those schools in developing IFRS curricula. The contributions include drafting course materials such as classroom guides and case studies and providing Deloitte professionals as lecturers. The classroom guides and course materials will be made available to other interested universities. Ohio State and Virginia Tech will discuss their IFRS course materials at the American Accounting Association's annual meeting taking place August 3-6 in Anaheim, California.
