The impact of IFRS goes beyond financial reporting
The move to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is the single
most important initiative in the financial reporting world, the impact of which
stretches far beyond accounting to affect many key decisions companies make.
The ongoing development of IFRS requires a constant review of reporting
practices. Early assessment of the impact of new and amended standards reduces
the pressure of last minute corrections or delays to the accounts.
Keeping up to date with the changes and their implications requires
professional help
International Financial Reporting Standards are complex and are constantly
evolving. Finance professionals face an ongoing challenge to keep abreast of
IFRS requirements.
It is often difficult to address practical issues by simply referring to the
underlying standards. Analysis and interpretation, including worked examples,
provides clarity and can save companies a considerable amount of time.

financial reporting problems
Providing leading interpretation and practical guidance, every chapter
contains detailed analysis of how complex financial reporting problems can be
resolved appropriately and effectively.
International GAAP 2010 demonstrates how difficult practical issues should be
approached in the new complex global world of international financial
reporting, where IFRS has become the accepted financial reporting system in
more than 100 countries. This integrated approach provides a unique level of
authoritative material for anyone involved in preparing, interpreting or
auditing company accounts, for regulators, academic researchers and for all
students of accountancy.
The International Financial Reporting Group of Ernst & Young includes
financial reporting professionals from around the world. Complex technical
accounting issues are explained clearly in a practical working context that
enables immediate understanding of the point at issue.

alternative solutions available, and hundreds of practical illustrations taken

tomorrow’s requirements will be. This early assessment of the potential impact
