There are, no doubt, many different ways of integrating IFRS across the curricula. However, such integration, regardless of manner or form, must provide students with a unifying theoretical structure - one which emphasizes the principles-based nature of IFRS. An integration of IFRS across the entire curricula will enable students to better synthesize and reinforce IFRS concepts and their application and to better contrast them with US GAAP. Moreover, an integrated approach to IFRS coverage, built around a conceptual framework requiring students to justify particular accounting treatments in a given set of circumstances, will transform accounting education from one of passive to one of active learning. Students will learn in an environment where the development of critical thinking, communication, written, and leadership skills are the norm rather than the exception. The principal disadvantage of integrating IFRS across the curricula is the required investment of time and money. Admittedly, in these difficult political and economic times, educators and administrators struggle with constrained budgets and limited resources. In this respect, accounting programs will be in active competition with other university programs for scarce funds, and accounting educators are currently grappling with how to cover an already mammoth body of knowledge. Thus, incorporation of IFRS utilizing any of the above approaches, particularly the third one, will be a hard sell.
