I spoke with a recruiter from PwC at an event last week, and I asked her if there is any added value to taking the CPA exam that incorporates IFRS. She said no, not really, they will train you on it regardless once (if) you are hired.
Just thought I would share that.

What if the employer says, oh looks like you already know IFRS, guess we don't need to waste our time training you! Lets start you today then.

Haha, if it were only that simple. Everyone loves mandatory training, especially on current knowledge.

I cannot see any more than a temporary bump in employment as a result of IFRS for the U.S. I could see it bringing in more foreign finance professionals to the U.S. taking up a lot of the "bump" though, if not resulting in a net loss for our people x_X.

It's doubtful. It would be like an employer prefering someone who took FAR in 2009 because it tests on 141(R). Most of the people who look at your resume won't know the difference between IFRS and Tivo.
