Click the date of the report you want.   Click the ‘Full Text” link at the top of the page to see the entire report or under each chapter, click the “full text” link to see it.   (I know that sounds obvious, but I actually passed these up on the 1st go-round- maybe this is just a personal problem and you can ignore this paragraph)

I would look in the following TCU databases (keep in mind that some of these databases have limits on the # of simultaneous users, so if a non-TCU password screen pops up, just wait and try again later):

Business Source Complete, EconLit, General Business File ASAP, Promt, Business Reference Suite (2 users), and Factiva (5 users). 

Here is how I would structure my basic search if you have multiple boxes on the page:

Box 1: ifrs OR “international financial reporting standards”

Box 2: gaap OR “generally accepted accounting principles”

Box 3: difference*

In box 3, you may want to replace the word ‘difference*’ with a keyword from some of the other criteria for your assignment, for example: impact*     In some databases, you need to NOT use the word ‘difference*’ in order to get results.  Try some variations and don’t give up on the first attempt.

If the database has a single search box, construct your search like this:

( ifrs OR “international financial reporting standards”) AND ( gaap OR “generally accepted accounting principles”) AND difference*

Good luck!
