GAAP FOCUS, a quarterly newsletter by KPMG in India, aims at providing inputs on recent developments in international financial reporting such as US GAAP and IFRS impacting SEC issuers and others including auditors, initiatives by regulators such as SEC, PCAOB etc. and related themes around audit quality and role of audit committees. The articles endeavor to analyze how these international developments may impact entities in India.

Finally, where relevant, the accounting guidance for IC and IPE has been contrasted between US GAAP and IFRS.
