- Four new standards— IFRSs 10, 11, 12, 13

This concise and easy-to-use Briefing has been specially prepared for Chief Executives, members of Audit Committees, Boards of Directors and others who want a broad overview of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), including International Accounting Standards (IASs).

The significant judgements and estimates summaries for each IFRS will assist preparers and others in understanding the main judgements and estimates that are often necessary when applying IFRSs.
