It might not be the right things because every country has own rules & regulation. Those rules & regulation can not apply on other country. And every country has own industrial standard. Those industrial standards can not be match with each & every country. Each country has own requirements & policy.

It might make the accounting & analysis easier but it might not be the "right" thing. The differences exist in part because of cultural or philosophical policies among countries & governments. For example, the US emphasis on governance dominated by control shareholder differs from, say, India where emphasis on collaborative governance (e.g., union board representation); neither is "right" for all. Other examples are GAAP vs. cash accounting; income focus versus asset focus; minority rights; transfer pricing; taxes; and so on.

However, that said, there's probably far more in common than different, and those common features should be standardized to the extent possible. Also, some differences are only followed by a small minority of the universe of countries and some differences are inconsequential. If you're a multi-national corporation, it is very costly to meet different accounting requirements in each jurisdiction.
