International Financial Reporting Standards -
The impact of IFRS is far reachingWith the arrival of IFRS, the global business community now faces a challenging time to ensure it is adequatelyprepared for the requirements of the standards. The introduction of international standards means that mostorganisations will need to change their financial policies, processes and systems.
How does this affect you?From 1 January 2005, Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards is fully converged with IFRS. This effectivelymeans that organisations currently preparing their financial statements in accordance with Hong Kong SSAP,HKAS and HKFRS will need to start applying these IFRS.
The impact of these fundamental changes and the increased comparability that will result, if not appropriatelymanaged, could directly affect your organisation’s reputation within the marketplace and ultimately its market value.
With these consequences in mind,
Who does this affect?The effect of IFRS extends further than just the finance function of listed companies. Directors, investors,analysts, marketing /PR departments, in effect anyone who uses the information contained in financialstatements, will need to understand the commercial impact of the introduction of IFRS on their business. Unlisted businesses are also affected by the convergence of HK GAAP with international standards.
The HKICPA / ICAEW IFRSLearning and Assessment Programme
How preparedare you?
can your organisation afford not toprioritise IFRS in 2005?
the ICAEW Assessment offersa highly respected qualification.
