Summary
Accounting reporting criteria vary by country and can be challenging for global companies. Boeing and Airbus are compared to illustrate these differences.
Boeing and Airbus
Boeing and Airbus are two of the world's largest aircraft manufacturers. Boeing is based in the USA and Airbus is based in Europe. Their size and reach make them useful examples of different accounting standards.
Regulatory Environment
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) sets standards in the USA. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) sets standards outside the USA. The two boards have been working to make their standards more similar. The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are widely accepted.
Issues with Foreign Currency
Companies like Boeing and Airbus deal with currency fluctuations. They use currency hedging to lock in exchange rates. This helps them to know the value of future payments.
Differences in GAAP
The USA uses rules-based accounting. The international standard is more principle-based. This affects how companies prepare financial statements. The USA requires it. The international standard allows exemptions.
