What are International Financial Reporting Standards IFRS?

International Financial Reporting Standards IFRS are a set of accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board IASB. They establish common rules for how financial transactions and events are recognised, measured, presented, and disclosed in financial statements. IFRS is required or permitted in over 140 jurisdictions globally, including the European Union, the United Kingdom, and many countries across Asia, Africa, and the Americas, making it the dominant global financial reporting framework used by financial and non-financial institutions alike.
