1. How will "harmonization" with IASB work if we further separate our accounting standards?
2. Will this / Should this have any impact on second markets for private shares? Will this make the accounting for these companies more or less transparent? More importantly, will it make the accounting more accurate? Predictable?
3. Will public companies see this as another reason to "go private"?
