This research proposal discusses the literature review and methods for the dissertation aimed to disclose the impact of the credit crunch on International Accounting Standards Boards (IASB) decisions and accounting standards in the world. The subprime crisis has impacted many areas of the economy and accounting is one of the fields heavily affected. The proposal will raise the issues of fair value accounting, risk management, disclosure of financial assets and liabilities and others. The aim of the dissertation will be to assess the effects of the subprime mortgage crisis on these international accounting issues and to recommend a remedy for the problems to prevent further instabilities in the future. The dissertation will employ a survey strategy in which independent auditors will be interviewed. The qualitative data will be analysed by dividing the answers into categories. The auditors will be asked to share not only their knowledge of what impacts the subprime mortgage crisis has had on international accounting but also their relation to the current measures that are being undertaken by the IASB and new propositions and recommendations for improving accounting standards and practices.
