Robert Half Management Resources and conducted by an independent research firm.

CFOs were asked, 'If the United States adopts International Financial Reporting Standards, how familiar are you with how your company will be impacted?' Their responses:
- Very familiar 8%
- Somewhat familiar 31%
- Somewhat unfamiliar 12%
- Not familiar at all 43%
- Don't know/no response 6%
