The Benefits Of The IFRS Conversion

By Cheri Knowles


The term IFRS conversion refers to the international Financial Reporting Standards that was developed by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) in an attempt to shift or move from the used accounting standard agency GAAp. The change has to take place by the year 2014 and has to be fully in effect by the businesses and companies by the year 2016.

The switching of the system from the GAAP that is now in use takes at least two solid years for change to fully effected. The change has to be done by the year 2014 the latest and be in use fully by 2016.The larger the business the longer the time the conversion takes thus the big companies and businesses should start sooner.

IFRS is used by the businesses to prepare the financial and accounting statements for public, private, not for profit and government organizations. It is impossible for any business to be successful without preparing this documents they cannot do without them. It has broader standard and leavers the implementation of this principle to the auditors and prepares.

There are some of the advantages that come with the change when it is fully in use by the companies and businesses that operate globally. They will be able to save a few sums that they used in the payment of the foreign reporting in the foreign countries as the IFRS is international.

Access to the foreign capital and markets is now made possible as the International Financial Reporting Standards is international thus covering all the foreign countries. The companies will be able to monitor the progress of the foreign markets knowing on the best country to invest thus making much profit than before.

IFRS Conversion is not easy as it is both times consuming and expensive. The IT systems that are now in use have to change in the companies so that they can accommodate the changes brought by the financial reporting system. Thus the companies should first access then budget for the whole process for them to live safe.
