Critical Thinking Question:
Background: At its London Summit in 2009, after the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, the G20 proposed a number of strategies to strengthen financial supervision and regulation. These included a call to accounting standard setters “to work urgently with supervisors and regulators to improve standards on valuation and provisioning and achieve a single set of high-quality global accounting standards” (BBC News, 2009, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7979606.stm ).
Response: The International Accounting Standards Committee Foundation responded to this call with a letter to G20 participants dated 16 September 2009 (here: http://www.ifrs.org/News/Press-Releases/Pages/Trustee-letter-to-G20-participants.aspx or at Blackboard/Learning Resources/Additional Documents & Reports).
Required:
Access the G20 proposals and the IASC Foundation’s letter and address the following statement using the AREA Framework.
The pro-regulation approach of both the G20 and the IASC Foundation, while claiming to be in the public interest, is designed to support the economic agenda of powerful interest groups.
In your answer refer to the regulatory theories identified by Deegan
