Hey Bill,
As you have probably already seen, there is a great newspaper article detailing the company’s plans to go global. You will notice that the biggest challenge that we face is learning the new accounting standards (IFRS). To get us started, I will need your help in calculating some of the Year 1 quarterly inventory balances under both U.S. GAAP policy and IFRS policy. I know that this is a bit of a challenge, but I have ultimate faith in you. Let me know if I can do anything to help.
Sincerely,
