If I didn’t yet perceive that corporate accounting was difficult in myriad ways, the chronicle of Frank Ross’ journey through the halls of the profession, that I look to call my own, has certainly crystallized it for me. His experiences provide a roadmap for the aspirations of this would-be accountant for whom he has helped to pave the way. That he, as a black West Indian immigrant, was able to achieve the level of success that he did in the Americas of the 1960’s and 70’s, presents a different sort of challenge to me, a second-generation West Indian immigrant. My challenge is how to emulate and hopefully achieve some measure of the success that he achieved, with similar courage, grace, and fortitude. And then to give back.
We learned the material in class and was assigned homework everyday. However, when the test came along, the results I obtained were devastating. Test after test, I kept getting C’s, D’s and even E’s.

In the preceding quote, a statement is made that accounting standards that are being developed by the IASB are not paying enough attention to the concerns and practices of European companies. The largest concern for European companies is that IFRS is heavily influenced by the Anglo-Saxon style of accounting and Europe is concerned that the IASB is going to require every country in the world to adhere to this style.
