EY has the best gaap vs ifrs guide. You should at a minimum know the key differences between IFRS 16 and 842.

Also know the standards that are more or less aligned: Rev Rec, Bus Combinations, etc.

Just be prepared to research stuff. Google is a great tool.

The main differences will vary by industry. For example there are quite a few differences for inventory if you’re in manufacturing space.

KPMG also has good free online resources for gaap/ifrs differences. Ifrs will be easier to understand if you have a good grasp on gaap too. The biggest differences I’ve come across are hedge/derivative accounting and taxes, but that isn’t my specialty

Time to read a book...

Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.
