What are the International Accounting Standards (IAS)?
The international accounting standards are a set of practices established by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These practices are designed to make it simpler for businesses around the world to compare financial reporting and data. This also helps create transparency and trust in the accounting process, particularly with investment and global trade.
Having an international accounting standard also alleviates compliance pressures and can significantly reduce costs surrounding reporting. In particular, companies that have international operations and subsidiaries in different countries can streamline reporting and practices.
It is important to know though, that IAS has been replaced by the newer International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
What are International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)?
The IFRS replaced the original international accounting standards to establish even more consistency with a focus on financial record keeping. The IFRS standards outline effective methods for the following:
â Maintaining transactional data
â Defining types of transactions
â Financial reporting
â Proper record-keeping

Requirements for specific accounting functions include those for:
â Statement of Comprehensive Income
