financial leverage

too risky or that the expected return on common stock is too
low

Global View
U.S. GAAP and IFRS have similar procedures for issuing common stock
at par, at a premium, at a discount, and for noncash assets.
Accounting for and reporting cash dividends, stock dividends, and
stock splits, are consistent under both U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
Accounting for treasury stock is consistent under both U.S. GAAP and
IFRS. Companies do not report gains or losses on transactions
involving their own stock.
Preferred stock that is redeemable at the option of the preferred
stockholder is reported between liabilities and equity under U.S. GAAP,
but it is reported as a liability under IFRS. Also, the issue price of
convertible preferred stock (and bonds) is recorded entirely under
preferred stock (or bonds) and none is assigned to the conversion
feature under U.S. GAAP. However, IFRS requires that a portion of the
issue price be allocated to the conversion feature when it exists.51
