US has possibly given up on convergence
I'm not a wiki editor so I don't know exactly how I would format a correction the article, or even if my source is reputable enough to correct it. But according to the CPA Journal FASB is no longer endorsing convergence, instead they think a viable alternative is condorsement.

http://www.nysscpa.org/cpajournal/toc2012.htm

If you click on the October 2012 issue you'll find an article on page 62-67 that discusses America's decision to head away from convergence. I think it's a pretty good source, but again I'm not really sure how to format any correction, so I thought I would put the information here for more experienced editors to use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.203.166.30 (talk) 07:21, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
