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 fourth edition of IFRS in your Pocket, published in January 2005, is a terrific guide to help you know and understand IFRS and how they are being adopted around the world.  This popular 76-page guide covers relevant IFRS issues and includes information about:

• IASB structure and contact details ;
• Use of IFRSs around the world, including updates on Europe, Asia, USA, and Canada ;
• Summaries of each IASB Standard (through IFRS 6) and Interpretation (through IFRIC 5), as well as the Framework and the Preface to IFRSs ;
• Background and tentative decisions on all current IASB projects ;
• IASC and IASB chronology.
