IFRS-to-US GAAP Conversion Partner

The mandate

This commission is bounded to designing and proving a repeatable IFRS-to-US GAAP reporting conversion. It must replace an assortment of historical adjustments with an evidence-based differences register, controlled calculation logic and reviewer-ready disclosures. The Consulting Partner is responsible for the conversion methodology and its pilot validation, but not for assuming management responsibility or operating future reporting cycles.

The named artifacts are a scope memorandum, policy-difference inventory, issue papers for high-judgment differences, conversion-entry catalogue, disclosure bridge, control matrix, pilot financial output and owner handbook. Each conversion item must state the underlying fact pattern, framework difference, recurring or event-driven nature, data source, calculation logic, preparer, reviewer and reconsideration trigger.

Six milestones structure the ten months: scope approval by 6 November 2026; preliminary differences register by 18 December; high-judgment papers by 12 February 2027; controlled conversion model by 16 April; parallel pilot and disclosure bridge by 25 June; and final acceptance by 13 August 2027. The timeline includes review windows and cannot be protected by suppressing unresolved differences.

The Chief Accounting Officer accepts milestones after technical-accounting, controllership and designated internal owners have reviewed them. The final test is reproducibility: internal preparers must use the handbook and approved inputs to recreate the pilot conversion within agreed tolerances, explain every material bridge and clear seeded control exceptions without consulting-team intervention.

Management must provide complete policy materials, source financial information, approved fact patterns, access to accountable owners and decisions on escalated elections within seven working days. The commission excludes source-ledger redesign, audit representation, tax conversion, systems implementation and production sign-off. Additions enter written change control with impact on fee, timing and acceptance.

What you will own

• Confirm the reporting perimeter, comparative periods, materiality basis and precise boundary between framework conversion and adjacent work.
• Build a complete differences inventory ranked by quantitative exposure, judgment intensity, disclosure consequence and recurring effort.
• Author defensible issue papers for the most consequential framework differences, including alternatives and management decisions required.
• Specify controlled conversion entries with source lineage, calculation method, review evidence, reversal treatment and update trigger.
• Produce a disclosure bridge that connects converted recognition and measurement outcomes to the relevant presentation requirements.
• Run a parallel pilot, seed representative exceptions and record defects through correction and retest.
• Transfer the method to named internal owners through workshops, observed execution and an independent reproducibility assessment.
• Invoke change control when facts, periods or requested outputs expand beyond approved scope; final policy approval remains with management.

Candidate qualifications

• Demonstrate personal leadership of a substantial IFRS and US GAAP conversion with traceable entries and disclosures.
• Provide an example of a framework difference whose operational data requirement proved harder than the technical analysis.
• Show how you separated standing conversion adjustments from event-driven matters requiring fresh judgment each period.
• Evidence authorship of high-quality accounting papers that survived senior management and external-assurance challenge.
• Describe the design of a parallel run and the acceptance tolerances used to determine readiness.
• Demonstrate knowledge transfer that enabled internal teams to reproduce outputs without ongoing consulting dependence.
• Explain how you controlled scope when tax, systems, assurance or source-data remediation threatened to absorb the conversion project.

Working terms and boundaries

• The total fee covers ten months, five consultant days each week and six defined milestones with formal acceptance gates.
• Management owns all accounting elections, source-data assertions, representations and published outputs; the consultant owns artifact quality.
• Final acceptance requires reproducible pilot results, resolved critical defects and signed receipt of the owner handbook.
• Client-input delays are recorded against the dependency schedule and may move dates through agreed change control.
• Production close operation, platform build, tax-basis conversion and independent assurance are expressly excluded.
