I was reviewing the July IAS recommendations and decided to look further at ECHO [Echo Global Logistics].  I downloaded the SSG data to Toolkit and started my own SSG. When I went to side 2 I started to notice differences in the data.

IN Section 2 A the IAS SSG has the numbers shown and the Stock Central Data based SSG has different numbers.

Both SSG's indicate the Data is as of FY 2012 Q1 (Ended 3/31/2012) Data Source StkCntrl

The IAS Data Date is 6/4/12, the SC SSG [My Download] is dated 7/03/12.

I checked Morningstar Data, they list as reported, and restated data. The EPS are identical in each.

As you can see the SC SSG data EPS appears to be the same as the Morningstar Diluted EPS.  So where did the IAS EPS data come from?
