Accordingly, IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) is a set of standards issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) that governs the preparation and presentation of financial statements by businesses. It is widely recognized and applied in many countries. Therefore, the training of accountants with professional qualifications and knowledge of IFRS is an essential requirement nowadays.
