More than 100 countries around the world have now adopted (or are currently adapting to) IFRS. Even if it is not legally binding to do so, some companies in the country have decided to follow IFRS principles as part of their best practice procedures. The correct adoption of IFRS promise organizations many benefits including enhanced investor confidence, greater consistency and transparency of financial reporting as well as the ability to compare financial information from companies around the world. The objective is to develop a single set of high quality, understandable and enforceable global accounting standards.
