It is also possible for some APEC participants to move more quickly than others if they wish. For example. if a small group of Asia Pacific economies are the first to recognize the potential benefits of adopting compatible standards for accounting. disclosure and auditing, there is no reason for them to wait until all the others are ready to do so. They would need to demonstrate to each other that their standards met some professionally acceptable criteria and that each government had the means and intention of monitoring adherencc to their own domestic standards within their jurisdiction. There will be no need for international enforcement of these standards. since each participant will have an incentive to enforce their own standards for domestic reasons as well as for continued recognition of these own standards by other participants.
