do latest developments suggest a slow death?

the gimlet-eyed jim peterson was never fooled.

why no-one has called the question on this endless charade reflects the two-level fantasy in the dialog: the iasb and the fasb both pretend to believe in the desirability of fully-converged accounting standards, and the community of financial statement issuers and users pretend to believe them.
