IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards)
In 2001, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) replaced the IASC with a remit to bring about convergence between national accounting standards through the development of global accounting standards. During its first meeting, the new board adopted existing IAS and Standing Interpretations Committee standards (SICs).
The IASB has continued to develop standards, calling the new standards "International Financial Reporting Standards" (IFRS) In 2002, the European Union (EU) agreed that, from January 1, 2005, International Financial Reporting Standards would apply to the consolidated accounts of EU-listed companies, bringing about the introduction of IFRS to many large entities.
