Barriers to successful harmonisation of accouting standards?

I believe this question is phrased incorrectly. "International Accounting Standards" means the same thing as IFRS. IFRS stands for "International Financial Reporting Standards". I suspect the question should actually read 'what is the difference between IFRS and US GAAP? I have some knowledge regarding this question as well but this is by no means a complete response. The piece I know about applies to the treatment of R&D expenses. Under US GAAP, almost all of a company's R&D expense are treated as cash outflow (expenses) and affect the income statement in the period in which they occur. There is no effect to asset levels on the balance sheet. Under IFRS, a large portion of a company's R&D expenses must be capitalized and then depreciated/amortized over some period. The treatment is more like that of capital investment spending and creates assets on the balance sheet that then carry a book value as they are depreciated over time.

Where can use voltage of 415v 11kv 66kv 33kv and 132kv?

These are the nominal voltages used by the UK's distribution system, although (to comply with European Harmonisation requirements, 415 V has now been 'replaced' with 400 V. Incidentally, the symbol for the volt is a capital 'V', not a lower-case 'v'.


What is the voltage IN THE UK?

In whole Europe there is 230 volts AC, so it is in the UK. Before there was 240 volts.Cheers ebsAnswerOfficially, to fall into line with EU harmonisation requirements, the stated voltage in the UK is now 230 V(+10% / -6%). In practice, however, nothing has changed from when the official voltage was 240 V(+/- 6%), as this is little more than a paper exercise.
