International Convergence
The Board pursued its EPS project concurrently with the IASC to help achieve international harmonization of the accounting standards for computing earnings per share. The focus of the project was on the denominator of the EPS computation, not on issues about the determination of earnings. The IASC issued IAS 33, Earnings per Share, concurrently with the issuance of this Statement; the provisions in that Standard are substantially the same as those in FAS No. 128.
