Workshop on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is a set of accounting standards developed by an independent, not-for-profit organization called the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). IFRS is followed by, or being adopted by, more than 120 countries. All member states of the EU are required to use IFRS as adopted by the EU for listed companies since 2005. All other major economies have initiated a process to consider convergence or adoption of IFRS.
