Today, the world’s capital markets know no borders. The participants in those markets need high quality, transparent, and comparable financial information to enable them to make sound economic decisions. For over 30 years, the International Accounting Standards Board and its predecessor, the International Accounting Standards Committee, have been working to develop, in the public interest, a single set of high quality, understandable, and enforceable International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to serve equity investors, lenders, and other information users.

This seventh edition of IFRS in your Pocket, published in April 2008, is a terrific guide to help you know and understand IFRS and how they are being adopted around the world.  This popular 112-page guide covers relevant IFRS issues. It includes, for example, summaries of each IASB Standard and Interpretation, annotated to indicate key proposals for change in current IASB projects.
