Convergence Audit Committees Readiness Implementation Plan
The transition around
the world to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) - which were
formerly known as International Accounting Standards (IAS) - is the most
important development ever seen in the world of accounting. The European
Commission has made IFRS (a single set of high quality, understandable and
enforceable global accounting standards) mandatory for all 7000 EU public
companies (including some 2000 in the UK alone) as from financial year 2005.
Outside of the EU, a number of other significant regions such as Australia,
Russia and the Middle East are also currently in the process of adopting IF=
RS,

Standards (IFRS). Learn a brief overview AICPA Participation, GAAP and IFRS
