5. Recommendation for Future Studies
The author of this article suggests that the following aspects should
be considered for future studies when studying the business combinations
phase II under FASB vs. IASB:
1. Companies should increase the effort of embracing sustainability
issues in the income statement, balance sheet and statement of
cash flows.
2. The FASB and IASB should develop a section devoted to the
consolidation of intangible assets.
3. Examine the relationship between USGAAP and IFRS in the
accounting treatment for both intangible assets and impairments.
