In the present era of globalization and liberalization the world has become an economic village. Accounting plays a very important role in the economic growth of a country as it is the financial language in which transactions and their effects are expressed. Various nations across the globe are pursuing convergence of their national accounting standards with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). It is very imperative to have a single globally accepted financial reporting system since a number of multinationals companies are engaging in cross-border business transactions. They are getting themselves listed on stock exchanges of different countries. Capital markets are thus becoming integrated.
The use of different accounting frameworks in different countries which require different treatments and disclosures for same transactions shall create confusion amongst users of financial statements. So this calls for the need to adopt unified standards such as IFRS that can help economy, industry and accounting professionals. Adoption of IFRS will encourage in transparent and reliable preparation and presentation of financial statements. These standards would enable comparability of financial information which will boost investor confidence. It will provide easy access to global capital markets and at low cost.
