Expert support for International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and related matters
The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of global accounting standards developed by the International Accounting Standards Board for the preparation of public company financial statements. With well over 150 countries using them, these standards are quickly becoming the global accounting language.
IFRS enables cross-border investment by lowering the cost of capital and reducing barriers
IFRS presents a common financial language that encourages and enables cross-border investment by lowering the cost of capital and reducing barriers. Using IFRS can help increase the quality, comparability and transparency of your financial information. Applying them correctly will increase your company’s credibility and improve access to credit and investment opportunities.
These standards are very detailed and technical and can seem hard to navigate to the untrained eye. CFGI’s IFRS experts are very well-versed in their intricacies, translating them into language that you can understand and apply to your financial statements.
Major new standards for financial instruments, revenue recognition and leasing present significant challenges to preparers of financial statements. You will find the latest practical application guidance from the experts at CFGI. We can help you navigate the complexity of the standards so you can focus your time and effort on running your business.
