What is IFRS Accounting Standard - Certification in IFRS
Goal of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)? The IASB is a committee with 14 members, from nine different countries, which work to develop global accounting standards. The goal of this committee is to create global standards that are transparent, enforceable, understandable, and of high-quality. These members create the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that are used by so many countries around the world. Each committee member has one vote for each of the standards that is voted upon and this privately funded group of accounting standards setters are based in London.The Acceptance of IFRS While there are many countries that abide by IFRS, there are still many that do not. Notably, the United States Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) of Canada do not adhere directly to IFRS. However, there is a currently a partnership between these and other countries with the IASB to try to coordinate standards that come together. This is an ongoing process, it will not happen overnight. Why are the IASB and IFRS Important? The IASB and IFRS that they issue are very important for the future of accounting. With businesses turning global, it is important that investors are able to compare companies under similar standards. Likewise, it is important for businesses operating in multiple countries to be able to create financial statements that are understandable in all of the countries they operate in.Eventually, International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and other accounting organizations hope to see a convergence of all accounting standards throughout the world. This type of convergence, would allow for the best of circumstances for investors and other interested parties to be able to examine and compare companies in a transparent and equal way. With the coordination of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with other accounting standards from around the globe, this goal of convergence may not be as far-fetched as it may sound.
