IFRS Standards are a set of global accounting standards developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) for the preparation of public company financial statements around the world. With well over 100 countries using them, they have become a global accounting benchmark for comparison and consistency.
Using IFRS can help increase the quality, comparability and transparency of your financial information. Applying them correctly will increase your company's credibility and improve access to credit and investment opportunities.
