On May 22, 2017 the DOL issued a New Temporary Enforcement Policy on the Fiduciary Rule, stating that “during the phased implementation period ending on January 1, 2018, the [DOL] will not pursue claims against fiduciaries who are working diligently and in good faith to comply with the fiduciary duty rule and exemptions, or treat those fiduciaries as being in violation of the fiduciary duty rule and the exemptions.” On June 9, 2017 compliance with the Fiduciary Rule was generally required. However, the day before, on June 8, 2017, the House of Representatives passed the Financial CHOICE Act, which includes a provision to rescind the Fiduciary Rule, this Act is still pending in the Senate, and analysts state that the Republicans will face a difficult task to gather enough votes to pass the legislation.

On August 31, 2017, the DOL published a proposal to delay (from January 1, 2018 to July 1, 2019) the applicability
The globalization of business activity has resulted in the need for a uniform set of accounting rules in all countries. With U.S. corporations doing so much business in other countries, it is imperative that the SEC and international regulatory boards devise a set of rules and regulations that would benefit both parties. If this did not happen, international companies would be able to do whatever they wanted without repercussion because of the discrepancies in the differing sets of rules. Accomplishing this universal set of rules would allow companies to list securities in any market without having to prepare more than one set of financial statements. There have been so many
All other entities should apply the amendments prospectively to all disposals of components of an entity, and all businesses or nonprofit activities that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale, that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15,2014 and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15,2015.

In preparing a strategic plan to incorporate and implement this new law, my first approach would be to aim strictly for success for my organization by identifying my target customers and continuing to communicate to current consumers. That involves setting my goals and mission. I would push for a more market-driven plan. That means accessing the needs of my organization and directing my attention to the ones that are most needed by using the S.W.O.T analysis (Berkowitz, 2011).
